Remarks
Sasa (1981)[3] described this species based on material from Japan and Niitsuma (1995)[1] described the pupae, larvae and adults. Chinese specimens agree with the adult description of Niitsuma (1995)[1]. Some measured differences between the Chinese specimens and the specimens described by Niitsuma (1995)[1] are shown in Table 4.
