Hindwings dark brown, thinly scaled, with somewhat semihyaline streaks on basal and median area, below discal cell. Androconial pouch on hindwing present, although it is not mentioned by Schaus in the original description (Schaus, 1911) nor Hampson’s posterior description of this species (Hampson, 1914). In the male genitalia C. digna presents a small elongate finger-shaped lobe arising ventrally and to the left side of vesica, that is also characteristic of this species.	en	Laguerre, Michel, Espinoza S., Bernardo A., Janzen, Daniel H., Hallwachs, Winnie (2023): Revision of the genus Cloesia Hampson, 1900: description of five new species and recombination of two species (Noctuoidea Erebidae Arctiinae Lithosiini).

03F0FC6CF876FF9203E3FF5CACBDFA7B.taxon	description	Male genitalia (Fig. 6 a-d) The uncus is enlarged in the basal half and abruptly narrowed in the distal half, laterally it is bent downward with a sharp pointed tip. Valvae are symmetrical reaching almost the tip of uncus. Their basal half is narrowed and the distal half is spoon shaped and distinctly sclerotized. The tegumen below the uncus displays a wide subrectangular thin process on each side. The vinculum is evenly rounded and the saccus is tiny. The juxta is relatively short, rectangular, enlarged on tip with three blunt teeth. The transtilla displays very long and narrow arms, abruptly bent outwards at 90 ° on their extremities. The aedeagus is short and slightly bulbous, the extremity is covered by a large patch of tiny cornuti. The vesica displays a perpendicular lobe which is partially spiculate. Female. – Unknown.

03F0FC6CF876FF9F03DAFA51A8D3FF2B.taxon	discussion	Remarks. – This species is very difficult to identify from its external appearance only. Nevertheless, it was possible to take a macrophoto of the tip of the type abdomen which reveals very huge tegumen expansions separated by a deep valley which allows to see the entire uncus (Fig. 7, on the right). The type was described from Bugaba in Panama not far from the Costa Rica border and so the species must be present in Costa Rica. The only entity with very huge tegumen expansions and similar genitalia features is the species described below and until the male holotype is dissected, we will consider this entity as Cloesia parthia.	en	Laguerre, Michel, Espinoza S., Bernardo A., Janzen, Daniel H., Hallwachs, Winnie (2023): Revision of the genus Cloesia Hampson, 1900: description of five new species and recombination of two species (Noctuoidea Erebidae Arctiinae Lithosiini).

03F0FC6CF861FF8500C1FF51ACEBFC36.taxon	discussion	Discussion. – The species is known from only two male specimens collected the same day but it appears that a second species of Cloesia is present in South-East Brazil. At least seven specimens (male and female) of an unknown species were collected by Maurizio Zenker in the costal area of Paraná state south of Curitiba at low altitudes (maximum 200 m). The nearest neighbour is Cloesia imitator at only 1.5 %, but unfortunately no specimen was available for study and the exact status of this entity is still pending.	en	Laguerre, Michel, Espinoza S., Bernardo A., Janzen, Daniel H., Hallwachs, Winnie (2023): Revision of the genus Cloesia Hampson, 1900: description of five new species and recombination of two species (Noctuoidea Erebidae Arctiinae Lithosiini).
