Diagnostic characters.
Female and pupa are not separable from
C. septadentata
, the only difference between both species is the larval mentum of sp.
sexadentata
that has six median teeth and instead of seven (
Fig. 25
E).
Remarks.
Unfortunately the male of this morphotype is still unknown. All females of
C.
sp.
sexadentata
were collected in Ubatuba (0 m a.s.l.), and specimens of
C. septadentata
in the Parque Estadual do Jaraguá (about
1000 m
a.s.l.). It is possible that the difference on the mentum is a population variation, but only with the knowledge of the male and more material it would be possible to affirm that.
