Why is it important?

Because the first diagnosis on Aculus craspedobius is fairly incomplete, the objective of this paper was to provide supplementary description of protogyne female, male and deutogyne female of Aculus craspedobius, and female and male of Paraepitrimerus erigeronsis which were collected in Hungary.
