Abstract
Over the few couple of decades, the Nepticulidae of East Asia have been the subject of continuing investigation. Male
genitalia of the nepticulid species described from Primorskiy Kray (the Russian Far East) were re-examined in the preceding paper in this journal. The present paper continues our study on the diversity and systematics of the Nepticulidae of
East Asia based on a sample of specimens collected in 1974–1990 at various sites of the southern part of Primorskiy Kray
and treats 35 species: two new taxa (Ectoedemia ortiva sp. nov. and E. species 219) and 33 other species. Seventeen of
them are briefly discussed and illustrated with photographs of male genitalia. Two new synonyms are proposed, and three
new distribution records are provided. We also provide an updated checklist of the Nepticulidae of East Asia, which comprises 105 species; 67 species occur in the Russian Far East and 53 in Japan (20 of which occur both in Japan and Russia).
Species with Euro-East Asiatic distribution currently comprise 11% of the Japanese fauna and 16% of the continental fauna of the Russian Far East, Primorskiy Kray.

Introduction
Nepticulidae are a family of monotrysian Lepidoptera with about 800 described species worldwide. Studies of the
East Asiatic fauna began in the early 20th century with the description of three species (Nepticula trifasciata, N.
gimmonella and Trifurcula oishiella) by Matsumura (1931). Much later, Nepticulidae were briefly treated in
“Illustrated Flora & Fauna of Korea” (Park 1983); however, no reliable species records were provided in that work.
In 1984–1987 notable efforts were taken to raise our knowledge of the East Asiatic fauna of Nepticulidae from
obscurity. A considerable increase in the number of species known from the continental East Asia resulted from the
work of R. Puplesis (see Navickaitė et al. 2011a), who described 59 new species (51 currently recognized), mostly
from Primorskiy Kray (Puplesis 1984a, 1984b, 1984c, 1984d, 1985, 1987; Puplesis & Ivinskis 1985). Later these
species were reviewed (Puplesis 1994), followed by an annotated list of pests of cultivated plants (Kuznetzov &
Puplesis 1994) and a key to the Nepticulidae of the Russian Far East (Puplesis & Diškus 1997). Most recently,
Puplesis & Diškus (2003) provided a review and world catalogue of the Nepticuloidea and Tischerioidea, and
(Sinev 2008) compiled a catalogue of the Lepidoptera of Russia.
The initial stimulus for studying the Japanese fauna came from Kuroko (1978, 1982, 1989, 1990), who
described two new species and provided other data on leaf-mining insects of Japan. The majority of the currently
known fauna (25 currently recognized species) was described in 1985 by T. C. M. Kemperman and C. Wilkinson
with biological data provided by H. Kuroko and T. Kumata (Kemperman & Wilkinson 1985).
Over the following two decades, various authors continued investigations of the Nepticulidae in Japan
(Kumata & Nakatani 1995; van Nieukerken & Kuroko 2005; Hirano 2010; Shinozaki et al. 2012), also Korea (Lee
& Byun 2007), China (van Nieukerken & Liu 2000), and the Russian Far East (Puplesis & Diškus 2003). Male
genitalia of the type material of the nepticulid species described from Primorskiy Kray (Russian Far east) were reAccepted by J-F. Landry: 8 Apr. 2013; published: 15 May 2013

examined in the preceding paper in this journal (Stonis & Rocienė 2013), and the present paper continues our study
on the diversity and systematics of the Nepticulidae of East Asia.
Material and methods
A sizeable collection sample of Nepticulidae was made available to the authors from the Zoological Institute of the
Russian Academy of Sciences (St. Petersburg, Russia) (hereafter, ZIN). The material had been gathered by various
collectors in 1974–1990 at seven sites in the southern part of Primorskiy Kray (Figs 1–4) (the collecting sites are
listed below).
Adult moths were collected by attracting them to mercury-vapour light from a lamp suspended slightly above
eye-level and 5–10 cm in front of a white screen. Techniques for genitalia preparation and the protocol for
descriptions were outlined in Stonis & Rocienė (2013). Permanent slides were studied and photographed using a
Leica DM2500 microscope and Leica DFC420 digital camera, respectively.
The terminology of morphological structures follows Johansson et al. (1990), Puplesis (1994), Puplesis &
Robinson (2000), and Puplesis et al. (2002a, 2002b). Taxonomic nomenclature follows the world catalogue of the
Nepticuloidea and Tischerioidea by Puplesis & Diškus (2003).

Description of new species
Ectoedemia ortiva Rocienė & Stonis, sp. nov.
(Figs 64–73)
Material examined. Holotype: ♂, The Russian Far East, Primorskiy Kray, 20 km E Ussuriysk, Gornotayezhnoe,
12.vii.1983, leg. R. Puplesis, gen. slide no. AG 207 (ZIN).
Diagnosis. This species belongs to the Ectoedemia suberis group. The male is recognized by the fuscous greybrown hindwing with yellowish cream lamellar androconial scales surrounding the yellowish cream hair-pencil.
Male genitalia are characterized by the shape of a large curved valva without the inner margin convex (in the
majority species of the group, the valva is distinctly broad at basal part, with inner marging convex, and narrowed
below the middle). The new species resembles the predominantly Sub-Mediterranean E. caradjai (Groschke) and
the West Mediterranean E. phaeolepis van Nieukerken, A. Laštuvka & Z. Laštuvka and E. coscoja van Nieukerken,
A. Laštuvka & Z. Laštuvka (see van Nieukerken et al. 2010), but E. ortiva differs by its broad aedeagus with
numerous spine-like cornuti and a dark hindwing with a yellowish cream patch of androconia and cream hairpencil (the costal margin of the hindwing is also cream).
Male (Figs 64, 65). Forewing length 2.6 mm; wingspan 5.6 mm (n=1). Head: palpi brownish cream; frontal
tuft orange; collar cream comprising piliform scales; scape yellowish-cream; antenna with 28 segments, shorter
than half forewing length; flagellum brown on upper side and underside. Thorax: dorsum and tegulae grey-brown.
Forewing grey-brown, with distinct bronze lustre, apically speckled with some fuscous brown scales; median
fascia not prominent, grey-white or silver-white (depending on the angle of view); cilia pale brown; underside of
forewing uniformly dark brown. Hindwing broadened at basal half, fuscous or grey-brown on upper side and
underside; hair-pencil not prominent, grey-cream or cream, surrounded by a large patch of yellowish cream

androconia; costal margin yellowish cream (Fig. 65); cilia dark brown. Legs brown-cream. Abdomen: male
genitalia (Figs 66–73) with capsule just slightly longer (288 mm) than wide (249 mm). Vinculum with two very
short but broad lateral lobes (Fig. 66). Pseuduncus triangular (Fig. 69). Gnathos with long lateral arms and caudal
process (Figs 68, 69). Valva (Fig. 67) slender (58 mm), 178 mm long, curved inwardly, gradually narrowed towards
apex, with pointed apical process; transtilla with prominent sublateral processes (Fig. 66). Aedeagus (Figs 70–73)
broad (124 mm), 284 mm long, with two apical carinae; vesica with numerous spine-like and denticulate cornuti of
different size.
Female. Unknown.
Bionomics. Host-plant unknown; possibly a leaf-miner on Quercus. Adults fly in July (attracted to light).
Distribution. It occurs in dense, mostly deciduous forests of Primorskiy Kray (Fig. 2).
Etymology. This species is named after the region East Asia – the Latin “ortivus” means the eastern (dawn) side.
Ectoedemia species 219
(Figs 74–79)
Material examined. 1♂, RUSSIA (Far East), Primorskiy Kray, 20 km E Ussuriysk, Gornotayezhnoe, 24.vii. 1983,
leg. R. Puplesis, gen. slide no. AG 219 (ZIN).
Diagnosis. This species belongs to the Ectoedemia subbimaculella group. The male is recognized by a
combination of the grey-white fascia of forewing, a weakly developed brownish hair-pencil surrounded by a patch
of whitish androconia, and features of the male genitalia (broad valva, weakly developed central element of
gnathos, very short vinculum).
Male (Fig. 74). Forewing length 2.5 mm; wingspan 5.5 mm (n=1). Head: palpi brownish cream; frontal tuft
orange; collar orange-cream, comprising piliform scales; scape orange-cream; antenna with 35–36 segments,
slightly shorter than half forewing length; flagellum pale brown on upper side, cream to pale brown on underside.
Thorax: dorsum and tegulae pale brown. Forewing pale grey-brown, speckled with dark grey-brown and fuscous
scales, with oblique grey-white median fascia; cilia pale brown; underside uniformly pale brown to dark brown
(depending on angle of view). Hindwing pale grey-brown on upper side and underside; hair-pencil very weakly
developed, comprises a few pale grey-brown to dark brown setae, surrounded by a patch of white or grey-white
androconia; cilia pale grey-brown. Legs pale brown, glossy. Abdomen: male genitalia (Figs 75–79) with capsule
considerably longer (256 mm) than wide (194 mm). Ventral plate of vinculum very short, lateral lobes absent (Figs
76, 77). Pseuduncus triangular (Fig. 77). Gnathos with long narrow lateral arms and weakly developed central
element (no caudal process) (Figs. 76, 77). Valva (Fig. 75) 199 mm long, broadened medially, with strongly
slerotized basal margin and short apical process; transtilla with long slender transverse bar and short slender
sublateral processes. Aedeagus (Figs 78, 79) about 263 mm long (possibly partially everted in figs 78, 79) and
relatively slender (66–77 mm); vesica thickened laterally and with with numerous minute cornuti (Fig. 79).
Female. Unknown.
Bionomics. Host-plant unknown; possibly a leaf-miner on Quercus. Adults fly in July (attracted to light).
Distribution. It occurs in dense, mostly deciduous forests of Primorskiy Kray (Fig. 2).
Remarks. This new species left unnamed because of the poor quality of the material.
Updated checklist of Nepticulidae of East Asia
Dissections of the genitalia of the unidentified Nepticulidae specimens collected in 1974–1990 at various sites of
the southern part of Primorskiy Kray revealed 35 species. Data about the examined material of 33 of these species
and some discussion are incorporated in the checklist below.
In this cheklist, species are listed in chronological order within taxonomic groups following classification of
Puplesis & Diškus (2003). Host-plant and distribution data are compiled from published references (Kuroko 1978,
1982; Kemperman & Wilkinson 1985; van Nieukerken 1985, 1986, 1996; Johansson et al. 1990; Puplesis 1994,
Puplesis & Diškus 2003; van Nieukerken et al. 2004, 2010; Sinev 2008; Hirano 2010; Navickaitė et al. 2011a,
2011b) and our original data.

Genus Stigmella Schrank, 1802
The caesurifasciella group
1. Stigmella caesurifasciella Kemperman & Wilkinson, 1985
Stigmella caesurifasciella Kemperman & Wilkinson, 1985: 38, 39.
Stigmella egregilustrata Kemperman & Wilkinson, 1985: 39, 40.
Host-plants. Quercus acuta Thunb., Q. glauca Thunb.
Distribution. Japan (Honshu, Kyushu).
The dissona group
2. Stigmella naturnella (Klimesch, 1936)
Nepticula naturnella Klimesch, 1936: 205, 206.
Astigmella dissona Puplesis, 1984a: 112.
Host-plants. Betula pendula Roth. Probably Betula davurica Pall.
Distribution. Predominantly central Europe (including central European Russia) and Russian Far East:
Primorskiy Kray (possibly with a continuous distribution throughout Siberia) (van Nieukerken et al 2004).
Material examined. 2♂, Gornotayezhnoe, 07–12.vii.1983, leg. R. Puplesis, gen. slide no. AG 135, 149 (ZIN).
Discussion. Male genitalia of the holotype of Astigmella dissona Puplesis, 1984 (a junior synonym of S.
naturnella) were re-examined in the preceding paper (Stonis & Rocienė 2013: figs 1, 3). However, the additional
material of S. naturnella collected at the same locality as the holotype of Astigmella dissona shows some variation in
the genitalia: rounded capsule, strong lateral scleotization of uncus, more complex but compact cornuti (Figs 5–8).
3. Stigmella mirabella (Puplesis, 1984)
Astigmella mirabella Puplesis, 1984a: 112.

95
Host-plant. Unknown.
Distribution. The Russian Far East: Primorskiy Kray.
Material examined. 3♂, Gornotayezhnoe, 07–13.vii.1982, leg. R. Puplesis, gen. slide no. AG 147, 150, 204
(ZIN); 2♂, ibid., 19.viii–24.vii.1983, leg. R. Puplesis, gen. slide no. AG 164, 230 (ZIN).
Discussion. From the study of the holotypes of Stigmella regina and S. sashai and three non-type specimens
listed in the present paper (Figs 9, 10, 12, 13), it is clear that they are conspecific. Cornuti form three groups: 1) a
dense cluster (sometimes divided) of strongly sclerotized spine-like cornuti, 2) loose, weakly slerotized spine-like
cornuti, and 3) minute denticulate cornuti. The vesica in the holotype of S. sashai is partially everted; therefore it
looks somewhat misleading (Fig. 11). Other characters mentioned by Puplesis (1984b) are not consistent when
more material is examined: shape of valvae and uncus are variable; moreover, artefacts of slide-mounting affect the
appearance of these structures. Therefore we synonymize Stigmella regina here.
The betulicola group
6. Stigmella betulicola (Stainton, 1856)
Nepticula betulicola Stainton, 1856: 42.
Host-plants. Betula humilis Schrank, B. nana L., B. pendula Roth, B. platyphylla Sukaczev var. japonica (Miq.) H.
Hara, B. pubescens Ehrh.
Distribution. Palaearctic. Widespread in Europe (from Ireland to north west and central European Russia and
Tatarstan); recorded from the Russian Far East (Primorskiy Kray) and China to Japan (Honshu) (possibly with a
continuous distribution throughout Siberia).
Material examined. 1♂, Kamenushka, 03.vii.1990, leg. Zakharov, gen. slide no. AG 213 (ZIN).
Discussion. In East Asia this species formerly was recorded only from Japan (Kemperman & Wilkinson 1985).
However, a single specimen collected in Kamenushka (Ussuriysk District, Primorskiy Kray) confirms its
occurrence on continental East Asia (Figs 14–17) (new record).
7. Stigmella luteella (Stainton, 1857)
Nepticula luteella Stainton, 1857: 110, 111.
Host-plants. Betula pendula Roth, B. pubescens Ehrh., occasionally B. nana L.
Distribution. Palaearctic. Widespread in Europe (from Ireland and Italy to northwestern and central European
Russia). Known in Asia: Kazakhstan and The Russian Far East (Sakhalin) (possibly with a continuous distribution
throughout Siberia) (van Nieukerken et al. 2004).
8. Stigmella sakhalinella Puplesis, 1984
Stigmella sakhalinella Puplesis, 1984: 115, 116.
Stigmella discidia Schoorl & Wilkinson, 1986: 237, 238.
Host-plants. Betula manshurica (Regel) Nakai, B. pendula Roth, B. platyphylla Sukaczev, B. pubescens Ehrh., B.
utilis D. Don.; possibly other Betula spp. (in East Asia).
Distribution. Palaearctic. Widespread in western and eastern Europe. Known from the Caucasus and eastern
Asia: the Russian Far East (Primorskiy Kray and Sakhalin).
Material examined. 2♂, Gornotayezhnoe, 05.viii.1983, leg. R. Puplesis, gen. slide nos AG 263, 264 (ZIN).
Discussion. The apical cornuti of the aedeagus of S. sakhalinella are partially broken in the neotype (see the
preceding paper, Stonis & Rocienė 2013: figs 17, 19). Therefore, we confirm morphological details of the male
genitalia based on non-type material collected at the same locality as the neotype (Figs 18, 19).

Rocienė 2013: figs 20, 21). Therefore, we confirm morphological details of the male genitalia based on non-type
material collected at the same locality as the holotype (Figs 20, 21).
10. Stigmella cathepostis Kemperman & Wilkinson, 1985

Ryazanovka, 09.viii.1983, leg. R. Puplesis, gen. slide no. AG 189 (ZIN).
Discussion. This species was previously known only from Kyushu, Japan (Kemperman & Wilkinson 1985).
However, two specimens collected in Gornotayezhnoe (20 km E Ussuriysk) and Ryazanovka (Khasan District)
confirm the occurrence (and possibly a wide distribution) of S. cathepostis in Primorskiy Kray and continental East
Asia (Figs 22–25) (new record).

Discussion. Based on the examination of the holotypes of Ectoedemia laura and E. sivickisi (Stonis & Rocienė
2013) and six non-type specimens listed in the present paper (Figs 41–46), it is clear that they are conspecific. The
characters of E. laura mentioned by Puplesis (1985) are not consistent when more material is examined: shape of
valvae and uncus varies slightly; moreover, artefacts of slide-mounting influence the appearance of these
structures. Therefore we synonymize E. laura here.

Discussion
According to van Nieukerken et al. (2010) Ectoedemia spiraeae Gregor & Povolný, 1983 possibly occurs in Japan
and China. This species was described from Central Europe; now it is also known from the Altai Mts and
northeastern Siberia (Yakutiya) (van Nieukerken et al. 2010).
Recently five new species were described from southern China: four species by van Nieukerken & Liu 2000
(Stigmella circumargentea, S. kao, S. lithocarpella, S. vandrieli) and one species by van Nieukerken 2008
(Fomoria festivitatis) distributed in Nepal, China and Vietnam. However, all species with the southeastern
distribution were excluded from the current treatment of the Nepticulidae of East Asia.
In total the current checklist of the Nepticulidae of East Asia comprises 105 species. Sixty-seven species occur
in the Russian Far East and 53 in Japan (20 species of which occur both in Japan and Russia). Of the 53 species
currently known from Japan, six species (approximately 11%) also occur in Europe. Eleven species (about 16%)
known from the continental Russian Far East (Primorskiy Kray) have an Euro-East Asiatic distribution.
The checklist of species does not reflect the actual diversity (and distribution) of the Nepticulidae of East Asia,
which is undoubtedly much richer than indicated here. However, further fieldwork in the region is now needed to gauge
the scale of the nepticulid diversity and build on the foundation that we laid with the material from Primorsk Kray.
