Review of the New Caledonian species of Acritoptila Wells, 1982 (Trichoptera, Insecta), with descriptions of 3 new species Author Wells, Alice Author Johanson, Kjell Arne text ZooKeys 2014 397 1 23 http://dx.doi.org/10.3897/zookeys.397.7059 journal article http://dx.doi.org/10.3897/zookeys.397.7059 1313-2970-397-1 213B7F9619904503BF09891445269D6C 213B7F9619904503BF09891445269D6C Acritoptila planichela Kelley Fig. 17 Acritoptila planichela Kelley (1989 : 194). Revised diagnosis. In having the parameres branched, Acritoptila planichela resembles Acritoptila forficata , sp. n. however in Acritoptila forficata the parameres are more slender and the mesal branch is the shorter, finer branch and closely associated with the lateral branch whereas in Acritoptila planichela the lateral branch is shorter and finer than the lateral branch, and Acritoptila planichela lacks the pronounced lateral lobes on abdominal segment IX seen in Acritoptila forficata sp. n. Acritoptila planichela shares with Acritoptila ouenghica and Acritoptila macrospina sp. n. the feature of curiously modified knob-like setae on the fused, non-sclerotized gonopods, but neither of those species has branched parameres. Male antennae damaged in only specimens at hand; forewing length, 2.1 mm (n = 1). Figures 17-21. Acritoptila male genitalia. 17 Acritoptila planichela Kelley ventral view 18-19 Acritoptila forficata sp. n. ventral and lateral views 20 Acritoptila ouenghica Wells ventral view 21 Acritoptila macrospina sp. n. lateral view. Abbreviations: gon = gonopod (s); ph = phallic apparatus; pr = parameres; subg = subgenital process(es); VIII-X = abdominal segments VIII-X. Remarks. Only a single specimen was collected despite the extensive field work. Thus, with the 3 identified by Kelley (1989) , 4 specimens are now known, all from the southern province. Material examined. Holotype male: New Caledonia, mountain stream up Boulari River, (BPBM); 1 male (on slide), Province Sud, Monts Kwa Ne Mwa, on road between Noumea and Yate , 1.5 km E Pic Mouirange, 22°12.545'S , 166°40.246'E , 143 m, 9.xi.2003, light trap, loc#018, KAJ (NHRS).
