Acrolepiopsis jaspidata ( MEYRICK, 1919)

My collegue Bernard Landry enabled me to study some specimens of this species, collected on the Galapagos Islands (see: ROQUE-ÁLBELO & LANDRY, 2006; 2015).

1 ♀, ECU: Galapagos, Santa Cruz agriculture zone GoogleMaps , near ( NNW) Bella Vista, 223 m, S 00°,41.297', W 90°,19.670', 7.iv.2004, leg. B. Landry; MHNG; 3 ♂, 2 ♀, ECU: Galapagos, Santa Cruz, NNW Bella Vista GoogleMaps , 225 m, S 00°,41.293', W 90°,19.665', 18.ii.2005, leg. B. Landry; MHNG; SDEI . The series contains females, which were hitherto unknown, and it is thus possible to describe the genitalia structure for the first time ( Fig. 19 View Figs 17–23 ).

Pads of lamella postvaginalis narrow, bristled; Ostium and nearly the entire ductus bursae funnel-shaped, more strongly sclerotized, in corpus bursae numerous rows of small, stronger sclerotized thorns.

The species was hitherto known only from Peru ( type series).
