Acalyptris argentosa Stonis & Remeikis & Diškus & Solis 2017, comb. nov.

Description

Acalyptris argentosa (Puplesis & Robinson, 2000), comb. nov.

Glaucolepis argentosa PUPLESIS & ROBINSON, 2000: 57.

The species is known from Central America (Belize). The host plant remains unknown. On the basis of our current re-examination, this species, previously with uncertain and provisional taxonomic position (see Puplesis & Robinson 2000), is transferred from the genus Glaucolepis Braun to Acalyptris Meyrick (a description and figures of a re-examination of the male genitalia, wing venation and wing scaling, with formerly unnoticed but hardly visible and very specific androconia, will be presented by Stonis & Remeikis, in prep.).
