Diagnosis
Callipia sihvoneni
sp. nov.
is a medium sized species of
Callipia
that was identified as
C.parrhasiata
in many museum collections. The costal area of the forewing is conspicuously striated / spotted and the apical dark brown area is usually not divided as in
C. wojtusiaki
sp. nov.
and
C. milleri
sp. nov. COIbarcode: the minimum observed distance to the genetically most similar species (
C.milleri
sp. nov.
) is 4.1%.
Callipia sihvoneni
sp. nov.
can most reliably be distinguished from the closely related
C. wojtusiaki septentrionalis
subsp. nov
.
and
C. milleri
sp. nov. by DNA-barcoding.
Etymology
The species is named in honour of Pasi Sihvonen, Veikkola,
Finland
.

Description
Male and female as illustrated.
Distribution
Western
and eastern Cordillera of central and southern
Colombia
,
2200–3200 m
. It has the northernmost distribution of all species of
Callipia
. It seems not to occur sympatrically with
C. wojtusiaki septentrionalis
subsp. nov
.
, and might therefore only be confused with the sympatrically occurring
C. milleri
sp. nov.
