Diagnosis ( Figure 9 View FIGURES 4–10 ). E. kos sp. n. has the basal segments of the flagellum white. This character is shared with C. levantina sp. n. and C. klimeschi sp. n. C. levantina sp. n. differs externally from the other two in the very dark costal suffusion. Apart from the shape of dorsal blotch which tends to be trapezoidal, we found no external character to separate C. klimeschi sp. n. and C. kos sp. n. Except slightly shorter length of the phallus in C. klimeschi sp. n., the male genitalia also appear to be very similar. The two species, however, differ strongly in the female genitalia; the antrum is much longer in C. kos sp. n.
Description. Wingspan 12–15 mm. Head brownish grey, frons light grey; labial palp segment 2 externally brownish grey, inner side dorsally and basally white, segment 3 white with broad, dark medial ring; basal part of flagellum white, single blackish scales on 2–3 segments, otherwise the basal segments are completely white; the remainder of flagellum ringed white and blackish, rings become more distinct towards tip. Thorax light brown in middle, tegulae yellow. Forewing costa ochreous brown, with grey suffusion along wing margin, below edged with white which continues as a white line to proximal margin of dorsal dark blotch; dorsal dark blotch trapezoidal (broad along wing margin); dark pattern elements with ochreous brown suffusion. Hindwing with cilia dark grey.
Foreleg blackish brown, underside whitish, tarsus with white rings; mid- and hindleg brown, underside yellowish brown, tarsi darker with white spots.
Male genitalia ( Figure 16 View FIGURES 15–16 ). Uncus narrow; valva slightly narrower towards tip; juxta lobes slightly curved; the ratio genital capsule/phallus is 1.32; otherwise, the male genitalia are similar to those of C. klimeschi sp. n.
Female genitalia (Figure 22). Antrum extending well beyond anterior margin of segment 7, anterior termination wide, rounded, posteriorly with medial convexity and pointed lateral corners; sclerite in ductus bursae larger than in other species; signum rounded, irregular, with medial extension on left side.
Distribution. Greece: Kos.
