Remarks
According to Inoue (1962)[1], Mimozethes argentilinearia (Leech, 1897) occurs in Japan and Taiwan. However, it has not been recorded from Taiwan in later studies (Inoue 1992[2], Yan et al. 2009[3], Chen 2011[4]). Thus, following that, we do not include the species in this paper.
Distribution
China, Japan.
