Alsophila (Inurois) fumosa Inoue, 1944: 58 , pl. 3, figs 14, 15; pl. 4, fig. 17; pl. 6, fig. 12; pl.

7, fig. 12; pl. 8, fig. 12. Syntypes 43 ♂ ( BMNH). Type localities: Russia, Vladivostok and Partizansk ; Japan, Kyoto Prefecture, Kurama ; Hokkaido, Sapporo ; Takao-san ;

Yamagata Prefecture, Yamagata.

REMARKS. The syntypes include specimens from Japan and the Russian Far

East. Lectotype is not designated still. However, the designation of the lectotype does not seem necessary, since no significant difference between insular and continental populations was found either morphologically or genetically.

The photo of specimen “GWOTQ471-16 { Operophtera }” from Sichuan In

BOLD (2022a) database shares “barcode” (BIN BOLD: AAD1544) with I. fumosa ,

true I. membranaria and I. viidaleppi , but on appearance it conforms to I. fumosa .

DISTRIBUTION. Russia (S Amurskaya Oblast, S Khabarovskii Krai, Primorskii krai), S Korea, Japan (Hokkaido, Honshu, Shikoku, Kyushu), China (Shaanxi,
