Genus Charanyctycia Hreblay & L. Ronkay, 1998

Charanyctycia Hreblay & L. Ronkay, 1998, Tinea 15 (Supplement 1): 218 (Type species: Charanyctycia laudeti Hreblay & L. Ronkay, 1998, by original designation).

Remark. The male genitalia ground plan of the genus is very similar to that of Bryotypella and differs only in the distally bilobate harpe. However, the taxonomic value of this feature is doubtful as in the other species of the genus, C. maria G. Ronkay, L. Ronkay, Gyulai & Hacker, 2010 (illustrated by Ronkay et al. (2010): fig. 45), one of the lobes is short which may represent a tendency to a reduction therefore Charanyctycia may represent a subgenus or just a species group of Bryotypella . To clarify this question, further molecular studies are necessary.
