Diagnosis. See the diagnosis of C. artemisicolella and C. falkovitshella above.

The comparison of barcode sequences within the species indicates a p-distance range of 0.0–0.4%.

Adult ( Figs 8F ; 11F ): Forewing length 3.5–5.5 mm (wingspan 7.0– 11.5 mm) (n=10) (Koo et al. 2020: forewing length 4.5–5.0 mm). See also Koo et al. (2020: Fig. 1 ).

Male genitalia ( Figs 13I, J ; 22A ): See also Koo et al. (2020: Figs 2A, B ).

Female genitalia ( Figs 17D ; 22B ): See also Koo et al. (2020: Figs 2D, E ).

Larval case: Uknown.

Host plants. Unknown.

Distribution. Korea (Koo et al. 2020).

Remarks. The biology of the species is unknown. Nonetheless, a comparison of morphological features and barcode sequences suggests that its larvae could share similarities with those of C. artemisicolella (see section on C. artemisicolella and remarks on C. falkovitshella above).
