Abstract:

"A new species of genus Cypoides Matsumura, 1921 from Sulawesi is described and illustrated. The description is based on a comparison of genetic and morphological features of the new species with those of its closest relatives, Cypoides parachinensis Brechlin, 2009 and Cypoides chinensis (Rothschild & Jordan, 1903). The female and preimaginal instars of the new taxon remain unknown."
