Etymology

The specific epithet is a reference to the forewing pigmentation pattern ( nigracyclus , from Greek and Latin, meaning “black circle”).

Comments

The adults of C. nigracyclus sp. nov. and C. gelidus sp. nov. are similar; however, the male imago of C. nigracyclus sp. nov. has the base of the turbinate portion of eyes as wide as apex and larger number and small size of ommatidia in the upper portion of compound eyes ( Figure 21A View Figure 21 ), while in C. gelidus sp. nov. the base is wider than apex and small number and large size of ommatidia in the upper portion of compound eyes ( Figure 10A View Figure 10 ); female imago of C. nigracyclus sp. nov. has brown marks near posterior margin of forewing ( Figure 21G View Figure 21 ), while in C. gelidus sp. nov. these marks are absent ( Figure 10H View Figure 10 ). The nymphs of C. nigracyclus sp. nov. and C. gelidus sp. nov. cannot be distinguished.
