No. : ZSM Arct. 2019-1096 (prepared by Volynkin) (male) (MWM/ ZSM ) . Note . The species was described from three specimens (cited as “a–c”) without their sex being specified ( Walker 1854 ). In the NHMUK , only a single damaged female syntype lacking the abdomen was located. Other syntypes are apparently lost or destroyed. In order to stabilise the nomenclature, the aforementioned syntype is hereby designated as the lectotype ( Fig. 21 ). Diagnosis . The forewing length is 15.0–16.0 mm in males and 15.0–17.0 mm in females. The species is morphologically very similar to C. vietnamica ( Figs 24 , 49 ) recently described from a single male ( Dubatolov & Bucsek 2016 ), and differs from it only in the lack of the smaller subbasal cornuti in the phallus vesica. Taking into account the intraspecific variability in the size and number of cornuti in the genus (illustrated by Ignatyev & Witt (2007) and Dubatolov (2014)) , it is possible that these two taxa are conspecific. However, to clarify this question, the examination of additional specimens from northern Indochina is necessary. Distribution . Nepal ( Walker 1854 ) and northern Myanmar ( Kachin State ).
