A new species of the genus Digitivalva Gaedike, 1970 from Japan, D. bella Zhang, Yagi & Hirowatari, sp. nov., is described. The host plant of this species is identified as Carpesium divaricatum Sieb. & Zucc. (Asteraceae). Larvae of this species pupate beneath the host tissue; this habit is for the first time reported for the genus Digitivalva in Japan. Adult specimens with male and female genitalia and pupae are illustrated and described in detail. Although the wing markings differ, the new species is considered closely related to D. arnicella (Heyden, 1863) from Europe, with which it shares similar biological and morphological features.

<p>We discovered an egg batch of a moth species laid on the leaves of <i>Ficus microcarpa</i>（L.f）（Rosales: Moraceae）at Kyushu University. The larvae hatched from the eggs were fed on both <i>F. microcarpa</i> and <i>Morus alba</i>（L.）（Rosales: Moraceae）. Mulberry latex is known to be toxic to most lepidopteran larvae, with the exception of a few, such as <i>Bombyx mori</i>（Linnaeus）（Lepidoptera: Bombycidae）. However, to our surprise, the larvae developed normally, pupated, and emerged as fertile moths. We also investigated whether the larvae of the species fed on <i>M. alba</i> leaves and developed normally throughout the larval stage. Finally, we identified the species as <i>Spodoptera litura</i>（Fabricius）（Lepidoptera: Noctuidae）through observation of the external morphology of the moths and sequencing of the cytochrome oxidase I（COI）gene.</p>

A new species of Caloptilia, C. rhynchosiae n. sp. is described, based on 16 specimens from Japan and Korea. The species is characterized by the presence of the saccular process in the male genitalia. A fabaceous vine, Rhynchosia tomentosa (L.) Hook. &amp; Arn. is reported as the larval host of C. rhynchosiae n. sp. Larval feeding preference, biology and pupation process are described for the species. The species turned out to be host-specific. Two sets of COI barcodes were generated for C. rhynchosiae n. sp. The genetic distances of COI barcodes between the new species and other congeners in the public databases are compared. The conclusion was made that C. rhynchosiae n. sp. was misidentified as C. soyella in the BOLD and GenBank DNA barcode depositories.

A new heliozelid moth, Antispila folimansiella Kim & Yagi sp. nov., is described in Japan. This species is characterized by feeding on Hydrangea petiolaris (Hydrangeaceae) and not making a case before pupation, which is an unusual habit in the “Shield Bearer Moths” (Heliozelidae). We compared the new species with other Hydrangea-feeding species by the shape of the genitalia, wing venation, and DNA (cytochrome c oxidase I barcode region). We also provide a redescription of A. hydrangifoliella with intraspecific variation of the wing venation and female genitalia.

The genus Palumbina Rondani, 1876 belongs to the family Gelechiidae, which was until recently believed to comprise 26 species worldwide and mainly occurring in the Oriental region. Previously, only P. pylartis (Meyrick, 1908) had been recorded from this genus in Japan. In this study, five other species were identified. Four species were recorded for the first time in Japan, and another was newly described: P. acerosa Lee &amp; Li, 2018; P. grandiunca Lee &amp; Li, 2018; P. macrodelta (Meyrick, 1918), P. operaria (Meyrick, 1918) and P. muraseae Kyaw &amp; Yagi, sp. nov. The host plant and larval feeding habits of P. pylartis, P. acerosa, P. grandiunca, and P. muraseae Kyaw &amp; Yagi, sp. nov. were revealed. The immature stages of P. grandiunca, P. pylartis, and P. muraseae Kyaw &amp; Yagi, sp. nov., including larval and pupal morphology, were first documented for the genus in which the larval chaetotaxy of P. pylartis and P. grandiunca is well observed. In their larval chaetotaxy, the details of their interspecific variation in the relative position and length of some setae are described. The pupal morphology of the species examined in this study is almost identical to the genus Thiotricha except for different traits on the abdominal segments A7 and A10. The traits of larval chaetotaxy and pupal morphology are also discussed for the subfamily. Photographs of the adult, male and female genitalia, and information on their biology and immature stages are provided.

Abstract

As one of the largest single-radiation sources of phytophagous insects, the higher level phylogeny of lepidopteran lineages has been debated for decades, especially the early divergences of nonditrysia. Here, we use 74 mitochondrial genomes representing seven nonditrysian superfamilies, including the newly sequenced mitochondrial genomes of eight families and 30 species. Four datasets were constructed and used for a phylogenetic analysis based on maximum likelihood (ML) and Bayesian inference (BI) methods. The results reveal that (1) nonditrysian lineages presented typically nested relationships with the family Micropterigidae as the sister-group to the remaining Lepidoptera, (2) monophyly of major clades in Lepidoptera, including Glossata, Heteroneura, Eulepidoptera and Ditrysia, was strongly supported, and (3) Neopseustoidea formed the sister of the remaining Glossata. Divergence-time analysis estimated that Lepidoptera originated c. 222 Mya during the Middle Triassic and that most superfamilies/families of nonditrysia originated from the Early Cretaceous to the Early Palaeogene, which largely coincided with the radiation of angiosperms. Additionally, three novel gene rearrangements in the gene cluster ‘MIQ’ and ‘TP’ were found in nonditrysian groups. Further mitochondrial genome data will help us to better understand the evolution of early nonditrysian lineages.

In this study, we corrected the misidentified insect pests on yam (Discorea polystachya), based on morphological characters and molecular analysis, and also firstly recorded the species in Korea. The species is a yam borer, Digitivalva hemiglypha Diakonoff & Arita. To accurate pest identification in future utility, genetic divergence within the genus Digitivalva including 43 individuals was calculated by adding samples from Korea and Japan. The intraspecific and interspecific genetic divergences in cytochrome oxidase subunit I, when calculated separately from D. hemiglypha I and D. hemiglypha II, had each constant average values along with other congeneric species: average 0.1% of intraspecific genetic divergence with ranges 0.0–0.7%; average 10.1% of interspecific genetic divergence with ranges 4.0–12.9%. Additionally, Automatic Barcode Gap Discovery results also recognized that two clades of D. hemiglypha were different molecular operational taxonomic units in the substitution models. Consequently, our results indicate that D. hemiglypha I is a correct D. hemiglypha in the cytochrome oxidase subunit I and it also supported by morphological comparison with the holotype of that. All sequences of D. hemiglypha I were nested in the same haplotype, with indicating the rapid dispersal. In further study, D. hemiglypha II will be re-checked as a distinct species of Digitivalva or other genus after examination of their specimens.

Asian species of the genus Vespina Davis, 1972 (Lepidoptera, Incurvariidae) are mainly reviewed. Vespina meridiana Hirowatari & Yagi sp. nov. from the Ryukyu Islands, Japan, and Vespina sichuana Hirowatari, Huang & Wang sp. nov. from Sichuan, China, are described. The previously known Vespina species are associated with plants from the Fagaceae family on the western coast of the USA and East Asia and with Sapindaceae (Aceraceae) in eastern Europe. The two new species described here are associated with Fagaceae and Myricaceae, respectively, in warm temperate areas in Asia. Vespina nielseni Kozlov, 1987, which was only known from East Asia, is newly recorded from South China. A checklist for the genus is provided herein. Morphological information of the immature stages of the two new species is partially provided. The absence or reduction of a female frenulum and presence of approximately 20 thin pseudofrenular bristles, the dorsoventrally flattened pupa, and the minute tergal spines scattered on abdominal segments 3–8 are considered as possible autapomorphies of Vespina.

A part of Japanese species of the genus Thiotricha Meyrick, 1886 are reviewed. Three species described by Omelko (1984) in the genus Cnaphostola Meyrick, 1918 are placed in combination with Thiotricha; Thiotricha biformis, T. angustella comb. nov. and T. venustalis comb. nov. These species are redescribed, and two new species, T. elaeocarpiella Kyaw, Yagi & Hirowatari, sp. nov. and T. flavitermina Kyaw, Yagi & Hirowatari, sp. nov. are described based on external morphological characters of adults and genitalia of males and females. Thiotricha chujaensis (Park, 2016), comb. nov. described in Cnaphostola from Korea, is newly recorded in Japan feeding on Mallotus japonica (Euphorbiaccae). One of the new species, T. elaeocatpiella sp. nov. has been associated with two different plants, Elaeocarpus zollingeri (Elaeocarpaceae) and Rhaphiolepis indica (Rosaceae). This paper presents the first comprehensive description of the morphology, pupal morphology and biology of species previously treated in the genus Cnaphostola and their relatives in Japan.

Diagnoses and notes on biology and distribution of Japanese species of the suberis and angulifasciella groups of the genus Ectoedemia Busck, 1907 are given. Two species, E. chasanella Puplesis, 1984 and E. ortiva Rociene & Stonis, 2013, are reported for the first time from Japan and their morphology is redescribed. In addition, we provide molecular identification of the two species and their relatives based on COI barcode sequences and the nuclear gene (EF1-alpha) sequences. The female of E. chasanella is described for the first time. We confirm that E. chasanella utilizes Quercus species (Fagaceae) as its hostplant: Q. dentata, Q. serrata, Q. crispula, and Q. acutissima. Ectoedemia ortiva was formerly placed in the suberis group, and its host plant was unknown. We move this species to the angulifasciella group and provide evidence that it utilizes Ulmus sp. (Ulmaceae) as its host plant.
