Pamphilius leleji Shinohara & Taeger, 2007: 35; Shinohara & Lelej, 2007: 938, 942; Taeger et al., 2010: 88; Sundukov & Lelej, 2012: 109; Sundukov, 2017: 105.

Material examined. Twenty-three specimens, including the type series, all from the Russian Far East (Shinohara & Taeger 2007; present work). The holotype has been deposited in ZISP. New collection data: RUSSIA: Primorskij Kraj: 1♀ (Fig. 95, DEI-GISHym 86269), Arsenyev, Ski-Base Bodrost, 200m, 44.122°N 133.270°E, 25. V. 2016, K. Kramp, M. Prous & A. Taeger, RU017 (SDEI); 1♀ (DEI-GISHym 32051), Komissarovo N, 130m, 45.000°N 131.788°E, 4. VI. 2016, K. Kramp, M. Prous & A. Taeger, in alcohol, RU035 (SDEI); 1♀ (DEI-GISHym 32032), Zolotaya Dolina E, 40m, 42.943°N 133.161°E, 10. VI. 2016, K. Kramp, M. Prous & A. Taeger, in alcohol, RU046 (SDEI); 1♀ (DEI-GISHym 21847), Sikhote-Alin Reserve: Middle Kolume river, salty ground, forest, 45.500°N 135.900°E, 18. VI. 2015, M. Sergeev (SDEI) .

Distribution. Russia (Primorskij Kraj).

Host plant. Unknown.

Remarks. So far as is known, this species is endemic to Primorskij Kraj. In our molecular analysis, the maximum intraspecific p -distance was 0.2% in COI (n=3) and 0% in NaK (n=3). The nearest neighbour was P. kamikochensis (a member of the P. albopictus subgroup), diverging by a minimum of 3.1% in the COI analysis, and by a minimum of 0.8% in the NaK analysis. Pamphilius leleji was recovered as sister to the clade P. albopictus + P. kamikochensis with 100% UFBoot support in the COI tree (Fig. 148) but as sister to P. aucupariae with 98% UFBoot support in the NaK tree (Fig. 161).
