Gynnidomorpha permixtana ( Denis and Schiffermüller, 1775)

Tortrix permixtana Denis and Schiffermüller 1775, p 129 . TL: Austria (Vienna).

Cochylis mussehiliana Treitschke 1835, p 141 .

Cochylis dymotana Treitschke 1835, p 142 .

Phalonidia permixtana: Razowski 1970, p 227 .

Diagnosis

Wingspan 12 mm. The extent and intensity of the greyish suffusion and strigulation of the forewing varies: in some specimens, it may be very weak, the pale ochreous-white ground colour then being more evident. The blackish grey suffusion at the middle of the outer margin of the median fascia and the grey suffusion in the distal half are characteristic for this species.

Material examined

Five males, five females, central and southern area, S Korea, mid-May to early September, in CIS and NIAST . Two females, Liangshui, HL, 27–28 June 1996, S. C. Yan; one female, same locality, early August 1996, S. C. Yan, in NEFU .

Distribution

Korea (South); China: Heilongjiang (Liangshui), Liaoning, Beijing, Hebei, Shandong, Shaanxi, Shanghai, west Hunan, Sichuan ; Japan (northeast); Mongolia; Russia (Siberia); Afghanistan; Europe (north, west).

Host plants

Cochylis rubricana Peyerimhoff 1877, p 101 . TL: France.

Phalonidia rubricana: Razowski 1970, p 221 .

Diagnosis

Wingspan 15 mm in female. The species is similar to G. permixtana (D. and S.) in appearance, but distinguishable by the rather dark medial fascia of forewing, surrounded by numerous tiny dark blackish brown dots between the outer margin of medial fascia towards termen.

Material examined

One female, Gapyong, GG, 21 May 1983, K. T . Park, in CIS.

Distribution

Korea (South); China: Jirin (Mt Changbaishan); Europe (south).
