Camptotylus gracilis
Wagner, 1957: 90
DISCUSSION:
C. gracilis
is undoubtedly closely related to
C. yersini
and
C. apanaskevichi
by the presence of four dark rings on the antennal segment II, mottled coloration of forewings, greenish-yellow cells, and contrastingly dark spot on the membrane. Based on illustrations in
Wagner (1957
, upper row of figs. 51–54),
C. gracilis
possesses a spinelike sclerotized process of the theca, somewhat broadened and richly dentate apical strap of the vesica, and well-developed, unpointed sensory lobe of the left paramere.
C. gracilis
differs from
C. apanaskevichi
in the presence of long dark setae on the head and pronotum, spinelike shape of the sclerotized process of the theca, and large sensory lobe of the left paramere.
C. yersini
is similar to
C. gracilis
in the shape of the thecal process and vestiture, but that species is more gracile, with body 3.7 X in males and 3.5 X in females as long as width of pronotum. In addition, the apical strap of the vesica in
C. yersini
is barely dentate, with single row of denticles and the sensory lobe of the left paramere is comparatively small, curved, and apically pointed.
