            <p> Acritoptila disjuncta Kelley Figs 1, 2, 24, 25, 30, 31, 35 </p>
            <p> Acritoptila disjuncta Kelley (1989: 193, figs 5, 6, 15, 16); Wells (1995: 235, figs 18, 19). </p>
            <p>Revised diagnosis.</p>
            <p> Males are recognised by genitalic features (Figs 1, 2): in ventral view by the conical gonopods with rugose surfaces, ventral to the sharply mesally directed darkly sclerotized subgenital processes with a small median papilla bearing a pair of setae and parameres that are dilated subapically proximal to a narrow constriction; females are readily distinguished by the mid ventral elongate digitiform process on abdominal segment VIII (Figs 24, 25). Males resemble most closely those of  Acritoptila chiasma and  Acritoptila csavar Oláh &amp; Johanson, 2010a, all three species in lateral view having a pair of curved spines apically on tergite X. However,  Acritoptila chiasma and  Acritoptila csavar have paired sinuous elongate-slender parameres latero-ventrally, whereas in  Acritoptila disjuncta these processes are constricted subapically and hooked apically; and  Acritoptila disjuncta has well-developed apico-lateral lobes on abdominal segment IX. </p>
            <p>Male antennae each with 30-34 flagellomeres; forewing length, 1.9-2.4 mm (n = 10).</p>
            <p>Female antennae each with 24-26 flagellomeres; forewing length, 2.1-2.5 mm (n = 10).</p>
            <p> Remarks . </p>
            <p> Acritoptila disjuncta is widespread on the island (Fig. 35) and one of the most commonly collected of  Acritoptila species at sites sampled in this study, although it was never as abundant in any collections as  Acritoptila crinita . The larval cases, described and figured by Wells (1995), are basically rectangular secretion  “purses” (Wells 1995: fig. 19). Many cases had a cover of sponge, always neatly shaped around the case, giving a spindle shape in profile (Fig. 30); it appears that the larva (Fig. 31) may crop the proliferating sponge. </p>

            <p> Acritoptila crinita Kelley Figs 3, 4, 26, 32, 33, 35 </p>
            <p> Acritoptila crinita Kelley (1989: 193, figs 4, 13, 14). </p>
            <p> Acritoptila karika Oláh &amp; Johanson (2010a: 70), syn. n. </p>
            <p>Revised diagnosis.</p>
            <p> The males of this species are most closely similar to  Acritoptila chiasma and  Acritoptila csavar with which it shares the strongly reduced, fused form of the gonopods, and the slender, elongate ventro-lateral processes or parameres; but they can distinguished because in  Acritoptila crinita the parameres are only slightly curved, not sinuous as in the other two species (Figs 3, 4). In addition,  Acritoptila crinita lacks the sharp apico-lateral spines seen on tergite X of  Acritoptila chiasma and  Acritoptila csavar and  Acritoptila crinita has a pair of lateral digitiform apically setose processes on tergite X. Females are recognised by the very dark apices of the paired lobes of sternite IX. Larval and pupal cases are rectangular purses (Fig. 32), obliquely sloped at each end, constructed of secretion with diatoms accreted smoothly into walls. </p>
            <p>Male antennae each with 29-33 flagellomeres; forewing length, 1.5-2.0 mm (n = 10).</p>
            <p>Female antennae each with 23 flagellomeres; forewing length, 2.8-2.1 mm (n = 10).</p>
            <p>Remarks.</p>
            <p> Of all species of  Acritoptila ,  Acritoptila crinita was collected most commonly by Johanson and colleagues in New Caledonia, often being taken in large numbers at sites in both the north and south. The males are readily recognised in ventral view by the fused, darkly sclerotized, rounded to heart-shaped ventral genitalic structure interpreted as the fused gonopods. </p>
            <p> The features by which  Oláh and Johanson (2010a) distinguished  Acritoptila karika Oláh &amp; Johanson, 2010a from  Acritoptila crinita are  “… segment X without sclerotized apical structures; fused ring-shaped gonopods without dorsal projection; basal plate with short digitiform processes; and apex of the phallic organ with a lobe-like complex (not with spine-like structures)";  Acritoptila karika has "Segment X  … slightly sclerotized horizontally  …” . This is simply another interpretation of the sclerotization displayed in the type of  Acritoptila crinita .  Acritoptila crinita also has fused gonopods without a dorsal projection, but has the basal plate (= bilobed processes of Kelley (1989)) with short digitiform processes as in  Acritoptila karika ; and the phallic organ has the same apical features that can be interpreted as spiny or lobe-like. Hence we are synonymising  Acritoptila karika with  Acritoptila crinita . In fact, numerous male and female specimens identified as  Acritoptila crinita were collected from the type locality of  Acritoptila karika , and also at a site from which 2 paratypes were designated. </p>

            <p> Acritoptila chiasma Kelley (1989: 192, figs 2, 11, 12). </p>
            <p>Revised diagnosis.</p>
            <p> Males of  Acritoptila chiasma are similar to  Acritoptila crinita and  Acritoptila csavar , with which they share, in ventral view, the rather similar tongue-shaped form of the mid ventral genitalic structures interpreted as subgenital processes (Fig. 5). The males are distinguished from  Acritoptila crinita by having spiny apical processes apico-laterally on tergite X (Fig. 6), which are hooked in  Acritoptila csavar (Fig. 9), and simply curved in  Acritoptila chiasma (Figs 6, 7). Neither  Acritoptila chiasma nor  Acritoptila csavar has the lateral setose processes seen on tergite X of  Acritoptila crinita . </p>
            <p>Male antennae each with 37-40 flagellomeres; forewing length, 2.0-2.1 mm (n = 3).</p>
            <p>Material examined.</p>
            <p> Holotype male: New Caledonia, mountain stream up Boulari River, (BPBM); 3 males (2 on slides), 4 females (1 on slide), Province Sud, lower part  Rivière des Pirogues, 800 m WNW summit of Mont Imbaah, 4.7 km E Lucky Creek in Plum, 22°18.559'S, 166°41.227'E, 1.3 m, 1.xii.2003, light trap, loc#059, KAJ (NHRS); 1 male, Province Sud, Mt Dzumac, source stream of Ouinne River, at crosspoint to mountain track, 22°02.218'S, 166°28.566'E, 797 m, 18.xi.2003, light trap, loc#032, KAJ (NHRS). </p>
            <p> Remarks . </p>
            <p> The features separating  Acritoptila
chiasma
 from  Acritoptila csavar are weak, but appear to be definitive. In the diagnosis of  Acritoptila chiasma , Kelley (1989) states that species "is most closely related to  Acritoptila crinita ", but has the tenth tergum "quite distinctive". However,  Acritoptila chiasma more closely resembles  Acritoptila csavar , both having gonopods of similar shape and stout spiny processes laterally on tergite X, whereas  Acritoptila crinita has the gonopods forming a tight sphere and on tergite X has slightly sclerotized, weakly curved, lateral processes.  Acritoptila chiasma differs from  Acritoptila csavar in having in ventral the structure representing the fused gonopods more rounded, and in dorsal view the apical angles of tergite X acute and in lateral view the spine on tergite X curved ventrad, rather than dorsad. This species has been collected only in the far south of the island. </p>

            <p> Acritoptila glossocercus Kelley Figs 11, 12 </p>
            <p> Acritoptila glossocercus Kelley (1989: 193, figs 7, 17, 18). </p>
            <p>Diagnosis.</p>
            <p> This species is distinctive in the genus in having a single mid-ventral very darkly sclerotized tongue-like process, interpreted as the fused gonopods. It groups with  Acritoptila crinita ,  Acritoptila chiasma and  Acritoptila csavar in having filamentous parameres, but particularly with  Acritoptila crinita in having paired setose processes laterally on tergite X (Figs 11, 12). </p>
            <p>Revised description.</p>
            <p> Male antennae each with 29-32 flagellomeres, with large sensilla placodea on surfaces; forewing length, 1.9-2.3 mm (n = 7). Male genitalia (Figs 11, 12). Abdominal segment VII bearing a slender elongate process mid-ventrally. Abdominal segment VIII much shorter than IX, which is excavated mid-ventrally, accommodating darkly sclerotized, rugose tongue-like process interpreted as fused gonopods.  Abdominal segment X broad based, concave apically, with two small spines medially, and laterally an elongate apically setose process. Subgenital processes, in ventral view, in form of small conical lobes, each bearing a robust seta meso-ventrally; dorsally a pair of membranous setose lobes. Paired thread-like straight parameres extend distally from robust apodemes arising from base of segment IX. Phallic apparatus stout, constricted sub-apically, a strap-like band at apex. Female unknown. </p>
            <p>Remarks.</p>
            <p> Upon examination, the holotype male was found to be identical in all respects with a group of specimens collected from the sites listed below, save in the form of the mid-ventral structure illustrated and described by Kelley (1989: 193) as "tongue-shaped in caudal view", yet shown as a small rounded structure in his figure of ventral view (Fig. 17, Fig. 11). In fact, in the type this structure has been broken off (from  Kelley’s fig. 7, it appears it may have been intact when he drew his lateral view). The few known specimens of  Acritoptila glossocercus were all collected in northern New Caledonia (Fig. 35). </p>
            <p>Material examined.</p>

            <p>Diagnosis.</p>
            <p> This species resembles  Acritoptila glossocercus ,  Acritoptila chiasma ,  Acritoptila csavar and  Acritoptila crinita in having elongate ventro-lateral spiny parameres, but differs in that apico-laterally abdominal segment VIII is produced to form pronounced lateral lobes that extend distally beyond the apices of gonopods, and gonopods and subgenital processes appear in ventral view to form a single broad-base, medially constricted plate. The females have a small elongate anchor-shaped marking ventrally on abdominal segment IX. </p>
            <p>Description, male.</p>
            <p> Male antennae each with 27-29 flagellomeres, bicoloured, apical 4 segments pale, more proximally 11 dark, rest pale; forewing length 2.0-2.2 mm (n = 6). Female antennae each with 24 flagellomeres; forewing length 2.1-2.2 mm (n = 2). Male genitalia (Figs 13, 14). Abdominal segment VII bearing slender elongate  spine midventrally. Abdominal segment IX produced posteriorly, forming parallel-sided lobes, in lateral view segment narrows abruptly towards rounded apices. Gonopods and subgenital processes in ventral view appear to be fused to form a plate, broad at base, constricted medially, bearing a pair of dark knob-like setae at apico-lateral angles. Paired thread-like almost straight parameres extend distally from robust apodemes arising at base of segment IX. Phallic apparatus narrow, dilated towards apex, a sharp, sclerotized spur at right angles apically. Female genitalia (Fig. 29). Abdominal segment IX in ventral view with a pair of lobes laterally and median anchor-shaped gland. </p>
            <p>Material examined.</p>
            <p> Holotype: male, New Caledonia, Province Nord, Mt  Panié , stream at camp, 20.58139°S, 164.76444°E, 1310 m, 9.xii.2003-2.i.2004, Malaise trap, loc#074, KAJ, (MNHP); paratypes: 12 males (2 on slides), 12 females (2 on slides), same data as for holotype (NHRS). </p>
            <p>Etymology.</p>
            <p>parallela, named for the nearly parallel arrangement of several structures in the male genitalia.</p>

            <p>Revised diagnosis.</p>
            <p> Males of  Acritoptila amphapsis are distinctive, being distinguished from males of other  Acritoptila species by their genitalia in ventral view with parameres in form of pair of mesally directed, horn-like spines postero-lateral to gonopods (Fig. 15) and, in lateral view, coarsely hooked apices of the "ventral processes" (as termed by Kelley 1989), here interpreted as subgenital processes (Figs 15, 16). Females are distinguished by the apico-mesal concavity and sclerotised plate-like gland on sternite VIII (Fig. 28). Male antennae each with 31-35 flagellomeres, bicoloured with distal dark band of 9 flagellomeres followed by 9 pale flagellomeres apically; forewing length, 1.9-2.0 mm (n = 4). Female antennae each with 24-26 flagellomeres, bicoloured with distal dark band of 6 segments followed by 6 pale apically; forewing length 1.8-2.0 mm (n = 5). </p>
            <p>Remarks.</p>
            <p>This species was not commonly collected, but was taken in both the northern and southern provinces (Fig. 35). It was identified only in samples taken in the wet season, from late November, with the largest sample dated 8-15 January. This could indicate a restricted period of emergence, or possibly a later time of emergence than for other congeners. A pupal case attributed to this species by Wells (1995: fig. 17) and pictured here in Fig. 34 is a subrectangular purse case constructed of fine sand grains.</p>

            <p>Revised diagnosis.</p>
            <p> In having the parameres branched,  Acritoptila planichela resembles  Acritoptila forficata , sp. n. however in  Acritoptila forficata the parameres are more slender and the mesal branch is the shorter, finer branch and closely associated with the lateral branch whereas in  Acritoptila planichela the lateral branch is shorter and finer than the lateral branch, and  Acritoptila planichela lacks the pronounced lateral lobes on abdominal segment IX seen in  Acritoptila forficata sp. n.  Acritoptila planichela shares with  Acritoptila ouenghica and  Acritoptila macrospina sp. n. the feature of curiously modified knob-like setae on the fused, non-sclerotized gonopods, but neither of those species has branched parameres.

            <p> Superficially, males of  Acritoptila
forficata
 resemble those of  Acritoptila parallela sp. n., having similar elongate lateral lobes on abdominal segment IX. However,  Acritoptila forficata has prominent forked parameres, rather than the fine filaments that characterize  Acritoptila parallela and in that feature resemble  Acritoptila planichela , although the parameres are more slender, and their forks more pronounced;  Acritoptila planichela lacks lateral lobes on abdominal segment IX. </p>
            <p>Description.</p>
            <p> Male antennae each with 29-31 flagellomeres, with large  sensilla placodea on surfaces; forewing length 2.1-2.3 mm (n = 3). Male genitalia (Figs 18, 19). Abdominal segment VII bearing a slender elongate process mid-ventrally. Abdominal segment IX in ventral view laterally produced posteriorly to form prominent lateral lobes. Gonopods and subgenital processes appear to be fused to form a rounded structure, apico-laterally rounded. Paired forked spiny parameres arise from stout apodemes. Phallic apparatus slender medially, dilated towards apex, a strap-like twist apically. Female unknown. </p>
            <p>Material examined.</p>
            <p> Holotype male (on slide): New Caledonia, Province Sud, Monts des Koghis, ca 800 m S Koghi Restaurant, 22.18406°S, 166.50383°E, 420 m, 11-26.xi.2003, Malaise trap, loc#022, KAJ (MNHP); Paratypes: 2 males, Province Nord, Mt  Panié , stream at camp, 20.58139°S, 164.76444°E, 1310 m, 9.xii.2003-2.i.2004, Malaise trap, loc#074, KAJ (NHRS). </p>
            <p>Etymology.</p>
            <p>Named for the forked appearance of the parameres.</p>
            <p>Remarks.</p>
            <p>Only 3 specimens of this species are known, from two widely separated localities, one in the south, the other in the north.</p>

            <p> Acritoptila ouenghica Wells (1995: 235). </p>
            <p>Revised diagnosis.</p>
            <p> Acritoptila
ouenghica
 groups with  Acritoptila planichela and  Acritoptila macrospina sp. n. in having, in the male genitalia, curiously modified setae on the fused gonopods, described as  “tab-like” by Wells (1995) but in the two other species more knob-like. Unlike other New Caledonian congeners,  Acritoptila ouenghica lacks the free parameres, the parameres instead appear to be fused laterally as broad sclerotized margins on tergite X, although in cleared specimens these clearly arise from stout apodemes. Male antennae each with 30-33 flagellomeres; forewing length 1.9-2.2 mm (n = 8). </p>
            <p>Remarks.</p>
            <p> Very few specimens of  Acritoptila ouenghica were taken in all the recent collecting - one specimen from the south and several from the north (Fig. 35) - and no females have been associated. </p>

            <p> Acritoptila macrospina sp. n. Figs 21-23, 35 </p>
            <p>Diagnosis.</p>
            <p>The males of this species differ from all other New Caledonian species in having among genitalic structures stout, sclerotized asymmetrical parameres, in ventral view sharply angled mesally.</p>
            <p>Description, male.</p>
            <p>Antennae each with 26-31 flagellomeres, with large sensilla placodea on surfaces; forewing length 1.9-2.0 mm (n = 5).</p>
            <p> Male genitalia (Figs 21-23). Abdominal segment VII bearing a slender elongate process mid-ventrally. Abdominal segment VIII shorter than IX. Abdominal segment IX in lateral view broader than long, in ventral view widely excavated apico-mesally. Gonopods in ventral view in form of discrete triangular lobes, each with a small  rounded knob-like seta at about 2/3 length. Subgenital processes irregular in shape, in ventral view forming rounded lobe medially and pair of apically acute lobes laterally. Parameres leaf-shaped, left longer than right, in lateral view sharply down-turned, in ventral view directed mesad. Phallic apparatus elongate, dilated subapically with a slender re-curved apical spine. Female: unknown. </p>
