Achrosis transviridis sp. n.
Achrosis transviridis  (holotype) |
 |
9-10mm. This is a smaller species than viridapex (11-12mm), very
similar in facies except the whole medial area of the forewing rather than the
apical zone is green, and a paler green also. The male genitalia differ in the
reduction of the larger left arm of the furca and in the shape of the uncus (spatulate
rather than lens-shaped). The aedeagus vesica in both species has an extensive
group of moderate cornuti.
