Strephoptilus Rasnitsyn and Aristov 2013

Description

Strephoptilus Rasnitsyn and Aristov, 2013 .

— Type species Strephoptilus borealis Rasnitsyn and Aristov, 2013. Other species S. longus Rasnitsyn and Aristov, 2013, both based on nearly complete forewings, clearly shows the basal common stem of Cu from which the convex CuA and the concave CuP emerge, plus the presence of a series of anterior branches of CuA that are less convex than the main stem of this vein (see Rasnitsyn and Aristov 2013: fig. 12e, f). As these characters are diagnostic for the Anthracoptilidae, the attribution of Strephoptilus to this family remains well supported.
