Diagnosis. Forewing length is 16–19 mm in males and 19–21 mm in females. Externally, C. indosinica sp. nov. (Figs. 5–10) has no significant differences from C. bianca (Figs. 1–4) and C. malayana (Figs. 11–16) and can be distinguished by the genitalia. The male genitalia of C. indosinica sp. nov. (Figs. 28–30) are most similar to those of C. malayana (Figs. 31–33), but differ in the significantly smaller and weaker ampulla, the broader medial posterior and distal diverticula, which have broader fields of cornuti, the larger medial anterior diverticulum, and the basally broader medial dorsal diverticulum. The female genitalia of C. indosinica sp. nov. (Figs. 38, 39) differ from those of C. malayana (Figs. 40, 41) in the more heavily sclerotized posterior plate of the corpus bursae, which has stronger wrinkles, and the presence of three signa in the corpus bursae (while in C. malayana there are only two signa).
Distribution (Fig. 46). North and Central Thailand (provinces Chiang Rai, Chiang Mai, Nan, Saraburi, Nakhon Ratchasima), SW China (Yunnan), Laos (provinces Khammouan and Champasak), Cambodia (province Pursat) (Bayarsaikhan & Bae 2016), Central and South Vietnam (provinces Da Nang and Lam Dong).
Etymology. The specific epithet refers to its geographical range located within the Indochina Peninsula.
