Diagnosis
Among the four species with a yellow-red ground colour (in comparison with the deep rosy species around
C. parrhasiata
),
C. fulvida
tends to have the most yellowish colour, but this is not a fully reliable diagnostic feature. The extent of yellow (vs dark brown) is most extended in
C. fulvida
among the four species, and the yellow blotch always reaches the costa at about two thirds from the base, producing an isolated brown spot. Although this is also seen in some individuals of the other species, the combination of these characters in combination with the geographical distribution will usually allow to identify
C.fulvida
without DNA barcoding or dissection. COI-barcode: the minimum observed distance to the genetically most similar (but not similar looking) species (
C.rosetta
) is 4.4%.
