Material examined. Ten specimens, including the holotypes of P. ussuriensis and P. zinovjevi , all from the Russian Far East and South Korea ( Shinohara 1988 a, 2001; present work). New collection data: RUSSIA: Primorskij Kraj: 1♀ ( Fig. 123 View FIGURE 123 , DEI-GISHym 12972), Samarka, Gordeyevskaya Mtn., 70 km N Chuguyevka, 250 m, 44.46N 134.13E, 29. V. 1993, leg. A. Taeger ( SDEI); GoogleMaps 1♂ ( Fig. 124 View FIGURE 124 , DEI-GISHym 21853), Sikhote-Alin Reserve , Upper River Dzhigitovka, 44.970°N 136.080°E, 27. V. 2015, Sergeev ( SDEI); GoogleMaps 1♀ ( Fig. 126a–c View FIGURE 126 , DEI-GISHym 86348), Rettihovka 9 km E, 170m, 44.178°N 132.877°E, 29. V. 2016, K. Kramp, M. Prous & A. Taeger, RU024 ( SDEI) GoogleMaps .

Distribution. Russia (Amurskaja Oblast', Primorskij Kraj), South Korea.

Host plant. Unknown.

Remarks. Pamphilius ussuriensis and P. zinovjevi were described from the holotypes only. The holotype of P. ussuriensis is a rather poorly preserved (discoloured) male specimen ( Fig. 125 View FIGURE 125 ) and that of P. zinovjevi is an exceptionally small female specimen ( Fig. 126d–f View FIGURE 126 ; Shinohara 1988a). Shinohara (2001) examined five additional females of P. zinovjevi from Primorskij Kraj and South Korea and discussed the variation among them. Pamphilius ussuriensis was only known from the holotype male until now. The COI sequences of the newly obtained specimens of P. ussuriensis (a male, DEI-GISHym 21853, and a female, DEI-GISHym 86348, initially determined as P. zinovjevi ) were retrieved as monophyletic with 100% UFBoot support ( Fig. 146 View FIGURE 146 ). Though the two specimens diverged by 1.8% in COI, it now seems reasonable to regard them as different sexes of the same species and here we propose to treat P. zinovjevi as a synonym of P. ussuriensis .

This species belongs to the P. sylvaticus group ( Shinohara 2002b). Diverging by a minimum of 4.8% in the COI sequences, the nearest neighbour was P. graciloides , according to our molecular analysis. In the COI tree ( Fig. 146 View FIGURE 146 ), P. ussuriensis and P. jucundus ( Eversmann, 1847) formed a monophyletic group with 99% UFBoot support.
