Diagnosis. The species has a similar disposition of transparent patches to C.
sexpuncta, and is a similar size and build, but the dark areas of the wing
are paler, brownish, and the transparent patches are larger, tinged slightly
yellowish. The male genitalia are similar to those of sexpuncta as
discussed under that species, but the valves are shorter, rhomboidal, as
illustrated by Holloway (1976).
Geographical range. Borneo.
Habitat preference. The holotype male was taken flying by day over a road
at Tenompok, at 1600m on the south side of G. Kinabalu (Holloway, 1976).
