Acrolepiopsis persimilis MORIUTI, 1974 View in CoL , stat. rev.

The study of a small series from Taiwan shows that the taxon persimilis , described by Moriuti in 1974, is not a synonym of Acrolepiopsis suzukiella (MATSUMURA, 1931) , as was published earlier ( GAEDIKE, 1979). There are clear differences in the genitalia structure, especially the size of the small preapical tooth on valva.

Hitherto known only from the locality where the type series was collected ( Japan, Honshyu , Mt. Takaosan). Recorded now for the first time from Taiwan:
