Abstract:

"A new species of the genus Cypa Walker, [1865] is described from the island of New Guinea: Cypa montana sp. nov.. The description is based on a comparison of genetic and morphological features of the new species with those of Cypa moniensis Kitching, 2013 and Cypa decolor euroa Rothschild & Jordan, 1903, which occur in the same area."
