Astrotischeria furcata Diškus & Stonis, 2018

Astrotischeria furcata Diškus & Stonis in Stonis et al., 2018a: 49, figs 176–189.

Diagnosis

External characters are not sufficient for the identification of this species. In the male genitalia, the combination of a wide uncus, uniquely shaped dorsal lobes on the valva and the widely divided apex of the phallus distinguishes A. furcata from all other congeneric species.
