GenusAcalyptaWestwood, 1840 Acalypta Westwood, 1840: 121. Type species by original designation: Tingis carinata Panzer, 1806. Note. For synonyms and detailed descriptions of the genus see Drake and Lattin (1963), Péricart (1978, 1983), and Péricart and Golub (1996). Remarks. The genus Acalypta, which is distributed only in the northern hemisphere, previously comprised 46 species (cf. Souma 2019, 2023 a), but in this study, the author describes a new species, A. alutacea sp. nov., increasing the number of species to 47. Among them, the following eight species have been known from Japan: A. cooleyi; A. gracilis; A. hirashimai; A. marginata; A. miyamotoi; A. pallidicoronata; A. sauteri; and A. tsurugisana (Yamada and Ishikawa 2016; Souma 2019, 2020, 2021, 2023 a). However, with the description of A. alutacea sp. nov. and the first record of A. carinata from Japan, a total of ten Acalypta species are currently recognized.
