Notes

The illustrated specimen of Cynitia lepidea flaminia in Monastyrskii (2019) is probably a female of Cynitia onoderai. Both species are found sympatrically and are rather similar. so it is likely that past records include both species. Reconfirmation by recording with reliable specimens is necessary in the future.
