Diagnosis.
The novel species is morphologically similar to
Cyana javanica
(Butler, 1877)
and
Cyana conclusa
(Walker, 1862)
, but can be distinguished from those taxa by a broad distal section of the valva (vs narrow and long distal section of the valva in
C. javanica
) and by the lack of a cluster of spines in the aedeagus vesica (vs the presence of such cluster in
C. conclusa
).
