Diagnosis

Among all Callipia of the parrhasiata group, C. levequei sp. nov. has the deepest red colour. The holotype probably represents a chromatic abberation ( Fig. 114 View Figs 108–115 ), other males have the same appearance as the female illustrated in Fig. 115 View Figs 108–115 . Callipia levequei sp. nov. also tends to be smaller than C. jonai sp. nov. and C. flagrans , possibly the closest related species. The male genitalia do not offer clear diagnostic characters, when compared to C. jonai sp. nov. and flagrans . COI-barcode: the minimum observed distance to the genetically most similar (but not similar looking) species ( C.intermedia stat. rev.) is 3.4%.

Etymology

The species is named in honour of Antoine Lévêque, Paris, France.
