Diagnosis. This and the previous species are similar in the male wing ornamentation. But in C. olinda sp. nov., the anterior portion of the HW is darker, while it is uniform in C. piacaba sp. nov. In addition, the tergal lobe bears a pointed projection that is half the length of that of C. piacaba sp. nov., and the mesal invagination of the outer wall edge runs about 1/5 of the length of the outer wall of the saccus, while in C. piacaba sp. nov. it extends for half the length (Pl. 18: Fig. 4–5 View PLATE 1 ; see arrows).

Description. Male (Pl. 9: Fig. 11 View PLATE 1 , Pl. 12: Fig. 10 View PLATE 1 ). Forewing length: 14–18 mm, wingspan: 25–34 mm. Epiphysis present.

Male genitalia (Pl. 18: Fig. 5 View PLATE 1 , Pl. 22: Fig. 5 View PLATE 1 ). Tergal lobes slightly sclerotised with a posterior and spiniform projection. Posterior edge of outer wall of saccus notched, with invagination running about 1/5 of length of outer wall, inner wall deeply concave posteriorly. Tegumen slightly sinuate. Fultura inferior slightly longer than wide.

Female (Pl. 9: Fig. 12 View PLATE 1 , Pl. 13: Fig. 13 View PLATE 2 ). Forewing length: 22–26 mm, wingspan: 45–52 mm. Epiphysis present.

Female genitalia (Pl. 23: Fig. 12 View PLATE 1 , Pl. 24: Fig. 12 View PLATE 1 ). Lamella antevaginalis with robust lateral plates bearing with a distal tapered projection with an antero-dorsal process on each side; mesally, the latter surrounds laterally a thickened V-shaped membrane. Ductus bursae tubular, ca. 0.5× shorter than elliptical corpus bursae.

Distribution. Known from the type locality only (Pl. 29: Fig. 1 View PLATE 1 ).

Etymology. Homonym in honour of Olinda Rank, feminine. It is treated as a noun in the nominative singular in apposition.

Remarks. The new species is not as variable as the previous species. Only sympatric to C. babi sp. nov. and C. kika sp. nov., but not synchronic to the latter.
