Remarks.
In the specimen from the Nech Sar N. P. the second and third anal vein (2A+3A) of the fore wing are nearly obliterated. This characteristic is known for
N. brevifalcata
and illustrated by
Koch (1998b: fig. 36)
, and it can cause specimens to be misidentified as belonging to
Distega
.
Neacidiophora brevifalcata
is known only from the male.
