One new species (C. caesia) and four new subspecies are described, one subspecies is reinstated to specific rank (C. desdemona), and one species and three subspecies are placed into synonymy. A neotype is designated for C. calphurnia and a lectotype is designated for C. desdemona. © David C. Hawks.
