Genus Acosma Yakovlev, 2011

Acosma Yakovlev, 2011: 82 .

Type species: Acosma gurkoi Yakovlev, 2011 , by monotypy.

NOTES. The genus Acosma was established for Acosma gurkoi ( Figs 1‒2 ), described by one specimen from South Sudan (Yakovlev, 2011). The unusual male genital structure, particularly, the narrow lanceolate processes on the abdominal edge of the valves, is the apomorphic feature of this genus.

In the same paper (Yakovlev, 2011) a new species, Azygophleps equatorialis

Yakovlev, 2011 ( Figs 3‒4 ), was described based on a series of 4 specimens: holotype (male) from Congo [ Congo Republic], Odzala NP, 0°23´N, 14°50´E, and three

( MWM); 2 ‒ A. equatorialis , genitalia (GenPr Heterocera MWM: 14.450); 3 ‒ A. gurkoi ,

holotype, male ( MWM); 4 ‒ A. gurkoi , genitalia (GenPr Heterocera MWM: 17.168); 5 ‒ A .

stanleyi sp. n., holotype, male; 6 ‒ A. stanleyi , sp. n., genitalia (GenPr Heterocera MWM:

32.490).

paratypes (all males) from Rep. Congo (Zaire) [ Democratic Republic of the Congo], 35 km

SSE Kisangani, Yoko vill., 0°17´N, 25°17´E). For the description, only the holotype genitalia have been examined and illustrated (GenPr Heterocera MWM: 14.450) .
