255587E3EA77FF87FF0CFF7019B1FB30.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. The new species is similar to members of the C. complicata species group, but can be distinguished from them by the dark brown colour of its hingwings, and lack a wing pattern. It resembles C. wilemani in male genitalia (Trofimova et al. 2016: Gen. fig. 108), but the latter has shorter subapical dorsal spur and a completely rounded apex in the super-uncus.	en	Qiao, Chuhang, Wang, Houshuai (2026): A new species and two new records of the genus Calliteara (Lepidoptera: Erebidae: Lymantriinae) from China.
