Hello,

The Nearctic
Paracraspedothrix angulicornis, with an even longer name, may be a synonym.

Thanks a lot, Theo and John! A new species for me. :D
P.S.: I could not find anything about its host(s).

ni, I did not know that PDF. So thanks for posting it!
Unfortunately
Paracraspedothrix montivaga (or
Chaetostigmoptera montivaga) is not mentioned in it.
