Description

Antillocladius scalpellatus Wang and Saether

Material examined: Type material as in Wang and Saether (1993).

Diagnostic characters: The male imago can be separated from other members of the genus by having several apical setae on the wing membrane; setose squama; costa barely extended; acrostichals starting in front, anterior ones hair­like, posterior ones scalpellate; short virga; anal point long, tapering, with strong lateral setae; and inferior volsella prominent, rectangular.

Remarks: The species is described in detail by Wang and Saether (1993). The type locality is in the Province Guangdong in China (Wang & Saether 1993). Tiunova et al. (2003) added records from the far east of Russia.
