Material examined. Sixty-three specimens, including the holotype, all from the Russian Far East and Korea ( Beneš 1974; Shinohara 1979, 1993; present work). New collection data: RUSSIA: Primorskij Kraj: 1♀, Ussurijskij Reserve, 9–12. VI . 1995 , A. Shinohara ( NSMT). SOUTH KOREA: Gangwon-do: 3♂, Mirugam (Bukdaesa), 1300m, Odaesan Mts ., 4–6. VI . 1996 , A. Shinohara ( NSMT); 12♂ (incl. NSMT 30606 ), same locality, 29. V.–4. VI . 2002 , A. Shinohara ( NSMT); 3♂ ( NSMT 30751–3 ), same locality, 1. VI . 2008 , A. Shinohara ( NSMT); 6♂ (incl. NSMT 30859 ), same locality, 28. V.–5. VI . 2009 , A. Shinohara ( NSMT); 1♂, same locality, 11. VI . 2010 , A. Shinohara ( NSMT).

Distribution. Russia (“Amour, Siberia”, Primorskij Kraj, Sakhalin), North and South Korea.

Host plant. Unknown.

Remarks. This is a member of the P. sulphureipes group (Shinohara, 1993). The maximum intraspecific p - distance within P. sulphureipes sulphureipes from Korea was 0.2% in COI (n=5) and 0.4% in NaK (n=4) and the nearest neighbour was P. coreanus , diverging by a minimum of 3.0% in the COI analysis and by a minimum of 0.9% in the NaK analysis.

Without giving the source of information, Sundukov & Lelej (2012) simply noted “larvae on Rosa (Rosaceae) ” under the present subspecies. Most probably this is a lapsus. The closely related P. ishikawai from Japan is associated with Astilbe spp. (Saxifragaceae) ( Shinohara et al. 2016a) and these are more likely host plants of P. sulphureipes sulphureipes .
