Diagnosis

The extent of dark brown colour is larger than in C. fulvida , see diagnosis in this species. Callipia levequei sp. nov. has a considerably more intense ground colour than flagrans . Callipia flagrans and C. jonai sp. nov. are very similar and can most reliably be distinguished by DNA-barcoding. The ground colour in C.flagrans is more yellow than in C. jonai sp. nov., and the species appear to be geographically separated ( C. flagrans in Peru, C. jonai sp. nov. in Bolivia). COI-barcode: the minimum observed distance to the genetically most similar (but not similar looking) species ( C. augustae sp. nov.) is 2.6%.
