Pamphilius archiducalis Konow, 1897b: 249 ; Gussakovskij, 1935: 187, 378; Shinohara & Okutani, 1983: 277; Shinohara, 2002b: 428; Shinohara, 2004: 264; Shinohara & Hara, 2005: 275; Shinohara & Kojima 2006: 24; Shinohara & Taeger, 2007: 34; Shinohara & Lelej, 2007: 939, 942; Taeger et al., 2010: 86; Sundukov & Lelej, 2012: 109; Shinohara, 2013: 94; Sundukov, 2015: 249; Sundukov, 2017: 104; Shinohara, 2019: 8; Shinohara, 2020: 22, 251.

Material examined. About 315 specimens, including the holotype. One specimen is from the Russian Far East ( Shinohara & Taeger 2007).

Distribution. Russia (Sakhalin), Japan (Hokkaido, Shikotan Is., Honshu, Shikoku) ( Shinohara 2013).

Host plant. Betulaceae : Alnus hirsuta (Spach) Turcz. ex Rupr. , Alnus matsumurae Callier ( Shinohara & Hara 1999, 2005; Shinohara 2005). Shinohara & Okutani’s (1983) record of Alnus viridis (Chaix) Lam. et DC. subsp. maximowiczii (Callier) D. Löve is probably erroneous (Shinohara 2005).

Remarks. This species is known only from Sakhalin and Japan. The larva feeds on Alnus solitarily, rolling a leaf edge below. The egg is deposited on the underside of the leaf ( Shinohara & Kojima 2006). Shinohara (2002b) placed this species in the P. balteatus complex of the P. balteatus subgroup, though our molecular analysis did not support the monophyly of this complex of species.
