Diagnosis. C. kallion is closely related to C. miniaula , but C. kallion can be distinguished by its larger signa and the broader sclerite of the antrum.

Ground colour pale brownish cream, finely strigulated with brownish, terminal part of wing pale rust; costal strigulae cream; divisions brown; ocellus cream with weak inner spots and outer line, diffusely edged grey. Markings brown, postbasal blotch well developed in dorsal half of wing, median fascia conspicuous in costal half. Cilia cream tinged grey (pinkish in paratype). Hindwing pale brownish; cilia creamer. Genitalia ( Fig. 18 ) with posterior edge of sterigma slightly convex; antrum fairly broad; cingulum as long as antrum with weaker posterior sclerite; signa large.

Holotype female: " Mexico: Chiapas, San Cristobal de las Casas, 2300 m, 23–27.VI.1981, V.O. Becker Col; Col. Becker 43777"; GS 851 WZ.

Etymology. The name is based on a comparison to miniaula ; Greek: kallion—more beautiful.
