Caradrina sp. (near selini)

Notes

We collected two specimens from Azgour. As wings of both specimens were heavily damaged in the trap, we hereby present illustrations of their genitalia in Fig. 12. Upon dissecting the specimens, similarities were noted with both C. flavirena and C. noctivaga . However, the wings of the moths were significantly damaged, preventing detailed study of their external morphology. Subsequent DNA barcoding of these specimens revealed a 97.24 % match with C. selini , with C. flavirena and C. noctivaga being approximately as distant from our specimens (97.14 % and 96.7 %, respectively).
