Revision of the genus Callipia Guenée, 1858 (Lepidoptera, Geometridae), with the description of 15 new taxa Author Brehm, Gunnar text European Journal of Taxonomy 2018 404 1 54 journal article 30719 10.5852/ejt.2018.404 4f5ec7f1-d96a-426d-9f73-4332e2077eef 1177125 EFD82C30-DBD4-40D0-8FE5-FAE10B7E560D Callipia rosetta Thierry-Mieg, 1904 Figs 81–85 , 88–92 , 131–132 Callipia languescens Warren, 1904 : 539 (confirmed junior synonym of rosetta , see Parsons et al. (1999) ( Figs 82 , 89 ) Assigned BIN: BOLD:AAI3925. Diagnosis Callipia rosetta is usually a rather small species. Some large specimens are provisionally included in C. rosetta (same BIN), but might turn out as different species if more data on the life history of the taxa become available. The spine-like process on the ventral margin of the valvae is well developed and larger than in augustae sp. nov. COI-barcode: the minimum observed distance to the genetically most similar (but not similar looking) species ( C.fulvida ) is 4.4%.
