Remarks.
Ceratostigma gracilis
is similar to
C. macrostigmatum
in male forewing basal one-fifth with a slightly curved greyish white stripe; radial fork with branches diverging at an angle less than 90°; epiproct nearly triangular, pointed at apex, with a nearly U-shaped sclerotized area at base; hypandrium with a broad ridge in the medium.
C. gracilis
can be distinguished from
C. macrostigmatum
by the hypandrium rounded apically, while the hypandrium of
C. macrostigmatum
is narrowed distally.
