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:
2 ♂, 1 ♀, Taiwan: Nan Tow Co., Tayuling , 2500 m, June 9–18 1980, forest, leg. D. R. Davis;” USNM; SDEI; 2 ♂, 1 ♀, Taiwan, Nantou, Meifeng, Rei-Yan-shi , 29.x.–3.xi. 1998, leg. Mey & Ebert;” ZMHB; SDEI .
