Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: A new limonophiline genus with unspurred tibiae, Acentrolimnophila gen. nov. and the one new species, A. nipponica sp. nov., are described from the Palaearctic Region of Japan, with images of the habitus, wings, and terminalia. The assignment of the new genus to the subfamily Limnophilinae is justified. A key to genera of Limnophilinae with unspurred tibiae and morphological comparisons of the new genus with closely related genera are provided.
