Remarks.
The genus Acalypta, which is distributed only in the northern hemisphere, previously comprised 46 species (cf. Souma 2019, 2023 a), but in this study, the author describes a new species, A. alutacea sp. nov., increasing the number of species to 47. Among them, the following eight species have been known from Japan: A. cooleyi; A. gracilis; A. hirashimai; A. marginata; A. miyamotoi; A. pallidicoronata; A. sauteri; and A. tsurugisana (Yamada and Ishikawa 2016; Souma 2019, 2020, 2021, 2023 a). However, with the description of A. alutacea sp. nov. and the first record of A. carinata from Japan, a total of ten Acalypta species are currently recognized.
