Remark.
In the original description,
Hampson (1897)
described male and female, thus, the description is based on
syntypes
. In order to stabilize the nomenclature, we designate the male specimen deposited in NHMUK and labeled as ‘type’ as
lectotype
.
Diagnosis.
Forewing length is
10.5–11 mm
in males and
12.5–13 mm
in females.
Cyana catorhoda
differs externally from
C. peregrina
by its slightly less elongate forewing with slightly narrower transverse lines. In the male genitalia, the valva is slightly narrower than that of
C. peregrina
, and the distal diverticulum is much larger and granulated, whereas in
C. peregrina
it is smaller and membranous. The female genitalia of
C. catorhoda
differ from those of
C. peregrina
by their smaller appendix bursae and shorter band-like signum.
