Distribution. Asiatic part of Turkey (Kennel 1910); Iran: Fars (type locality), Alvand (Hamedan Province) ( Razowski 1965, 1971).

Remarks. In the examined specimens, the forewing fasciae are not distinguishable ( Fig. 3A ). Both male and female genitalia of the examined specimens match well with those figured by Razowski (1965: 243, 244; the later of which was subsequently ( Razowski 1971) considered a synonym of the newly described species, C. regifica ) ( Figs. 3C, D ). However, in the female genitalia of some specimens there is a very narrow sclerotized ring at the posterior end of the ductus bursae (probably an artefact of slide moutning) ( Fig. 3B ).
