Type species:
Acosma gurkoi

, by monotypy.
NOTES. The genus
Acosma
was established for
Acosma gurkoi
(
Figs 1‒2
), described by
one specimen
from
South Sudan
(Yakovlev, 2011). The unusual male genital structure, particularly, the narrow lanceolate processes on the abdominal edge of the valves, is the apomorphic feature of this genus.
In the same paper (Yakovlev, 2011) a new species,
Azygophleps equatorialis
Yakovlev, 2011 (
Figs 3‒4
), was described based on a series of
4 specimens
:
