Acritoptila csavar Olah & Johanson Figs 8-10

Acritoptila csavar Oláh & Johanson (2010a: 70, figs 1-3).

Revised diagnosis.

Males of Acritoptila csavar most closely resemble those of Acritoptila chiasma, from which it they are distinguished by the presence of hooked (Fig. 9) rather than gently curving (Fig. 6) apico-lateral spines on tergite X (also see diagnoses for Acritoptila crinita and Acritoptila chiasma), and in ventral view by the paler and more ovoid shape of the fused gonopods.

Male antennae each with 39-40 flagellomeres; forewing length, 2.0-2.3 mm (n = 6).
