Han, H. L., Pan, Z. H. & Kononenko, V. S., 2016, A review of the genus Atrovirensis Kononenko, 2001 with description of four new species from China (Lepidoptera, Noctuidae: Xyleninae, Apameini), Zootaxa 4088 (2), pp. 201-220 : 219

The euplexina species-group

The euplexina group represented by single species A. euplexina which externally resembles A. yoshimotoi having similar type of wing pattern; but differs by moss-green with dark ground wing colouration; in the male genitalia it has large strong juxta, well separated relatively small cucullus with distinct neck, heavily developed short strong flattened harpe and small, vestigial lateral extension of sacculus; in aedeagus vesica short, armed with cutter-like cornutus on apical diverticula and group of four strong flat subbasal cornuti. Female genitalia are more similar to those of A. miraculosus , but differ by more conical ovipositor, wider membranous antrum and short sclerotised and ribbed ductus bursae. Similarly to A. miraculosus , this species group could be considered as specialized basal branch in the genus Atrovirensis.
