Yes, Aji Yuquitania is C. chinense, as is habanero et.al.
The taste of Aji Yuquitania should resemble that of habanero, but its taste
should have considerably less of that typical 'habanero' taste and aroma
than typical hab, while heatwise it should be significantly hotter than
typical habanero (though perhaps not as hot as red savina or fatalii).
The more or less torpedo-shaped, mostly upright fruits should be 3-sided on
the half nearest the stem, and cylindrical/rounded on the other half, with
a long but blunt nose -- it's an odd and distinctive shape.
