Four new species of Acronyctodes Edwards (Geometridae: Ennominae) from Mesoamerica

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Four new species of Acronyctodes are described and illustrated: A. gabrieli Matson sp. nov., A. asignum Matson sp. nov., A. bisbili Murillo-Vzquez sp. nov., and A. corrugata Matson & Garzn-Ordua sp. nov. Each species is distinguished by unique genitalic features, different DNA barcode data, and in some cases, interspecific larval color patterns. With the addition of these new species and the exclusion of Acronyctodes thinballa from the genus, the total number of species in Acronyctodes has doubled to eight.
