Remarks.
This species is similar to
Acroclita elaeagnivora
Oku
in appearance, but can be distinguished by the socius bifurcated from the basal 1/3, then produced into two branches with pointed or blunt terminations; and the outer margin of cucullus about 3.5 times as long as wide. In
A. elaeagnivora
the socius is long, curved; and outer margin of cucullus is about twice as long as wide.
