Diagnosis
The species is formally described here in the absence of males but it can be distinguished from all other
Centromeriana
species by asexual characters, particularly the backward inclination of the cephalic process which also has a relatively smaller size. From
C. jocosa
and
C. lindbergae
sp. nov.
it also differs in the clear forewing apex and from
C. simplex
in the body coloration, having a dark pattern, particularly on the abdomen.
Etymology
The specific epithet is a noun in apposition derived through Latin from the Ancient Greek word ρίνóκερως (= rhinoceros), which is composed of ρίνο- (= nose) and κέρας (= horn). The new species is named for its horn-shaped cephalic process.
