Name
Promalactis albipunctata Park & Park, 1998 – Wikispecies link – Pensoft Profile
- Promalactis albipunctata Park & Park, 1998: 58. Type locality: Korea (South).
Material examined
China, Jiangxi Province: 1♂, 1 ♀, Dayu County, 18.VI.1976; 1 ♀, Mt. Jiulian, 23.V.1977, genitalia slide Nos. DZH12176 ♂, DZH12203 ♀ (IOZ). Fujian Province: 1♂, Sangang, Mt. Wuyi, 740 m, 27.VII.2008, coll. Weichun Li, Yongling Sun & Haiyan Bai. Zhejiang Province: 1 ♀, Mt. Jiulong, 400 m, 5.VIII.2011, coll. Linlin Yang & Na Chen, genitalia slide Nos. DZH12053 ♂, DZH12054 ♀ (NKU).
Diagnosis
Adult with wingspan 11.0−14.0 mm. This species is similar to Promalactis parasuzukiella Wang, 2006, but can be separated by the sacculus with a digitate apical process, the slender rod-like saccus and the aedeagus with two spine-like apical processes in the male genitalia (Fig. 29); the M-shaped lamella postvaginalis and the oval signum in the female genitalia (Fig. 36). In Promalactis parasuzukiella, the sacculus has no digitate apical process, the saccus is semi-oval and the aedeagus has no apical process; and the lamella postvaginalis is absent and the signum is cross shaped.
Remarks
Promalactis albipunctata was described by Park and Park (1998)[1] on the basis of six female specimens from Korea. Promalactis akaganea Fujisawa, 2002 was described from three male and seventeen female specimens from Japan. By checking the photographed adult and both male and female genitalia of Promalactis albipunctata, we suspect that Promalactis akaganea is a synonym of Promalactis albipunctata, which can be confirmed only after checking the types of Promalactis akaganea.
Distribution
China (Jiangxi); Korea.
Note
This species is recorded from China for the first time.
