Diagnosis

Taxonomic Notes

The species has a sister-relationship to the Himalayan C. pulchraria Rothschild comb. n., a larger species with a more strongly marked hindwing and a more lens-shaped forewing band. The furca is symmetric in pulchraria, each arm half the length of the long left arm of callopistes.
