Taxonomic Note

The holotype of A. clavigera Toxopeus has been examined. Its genitalia (Fig 115) are probably within the range of variation seen in the type series of parvaclava Holloway, so the latter is here placed as a synonym of the former, syn. n.

Holloway description of ‘parvaclava

♂♂ 16-17mm. The wings are much as in corrugata, though without a discal spot. The fringes are slightly grey. The head, palps and legs are marked as in magnaclava. The male genitalia have an uncus and valve shape as in magnaclava, though the valves are shorter. The harpe is very much shorter (only half as long as in magnaclava), still clublike, though with the spining restricted to the apex of the club, which does not extend beyond the valve margin.
