82050424FFBE125FEFFBFAE1FE72A898.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. The new species is similar to A. acalyptra (Meyrick, 1913) by the mottled grey color of the wings with contrast zigzag streaks, but both species differ in their genital structures: in the new species, the bursa copulatrix is bean-shaped, without signa, while in A. acalyptra, the bursa is elongated, oval, with a constriction of needle-shaped signa in the middle. The ductus in new species is narrowed in the middle, has a similarity to that of A. atomoclasta (Meyrick, 1934), but the new species differs by the absence of numerous small signa throughout the entire surface of the bursa copulatrix and also by the wide ductus, the oval bursa and the cup-like antrum.	en	Ustjuzhanin, Pеtеr, Kovtunovich, Vasiliy, Ustjuzhanina, Anna (2018): New species of many-plumed moths (Lepidoptera: Alucitidae) from Tanzania.
