Diagnosis Closest relative of C. wojtusiaki sp. nov. and C.wojtusiaki septentrionalis subsp. nov . The geographical range overlaps with the latter. The male uncus is narrower than in C. wojtusiaki sp. nov. The wing patterns do not offer reliable diagnostic characters. COI-barcode: the minimum observed distance to C.milleri sp. nov. is 1.0%.
