No assigned BIN, but holotype with COI 359 bp fragments [299 bp gap].

Diagnosis

The largest member of the balteata group, patterns strikingly contrasting, colour of the bands on the forewing upperside distinctly pink, and not red-brown as in the related species. The uncus is broader than in the other species. COI-barcode: the observed distance to the genetically most similar species ( C. jakobi sp. nov.) is 6.0%.

Etymology

The species is named in honour of Gerardo Lamas (MUSM), Lima, Peru.
