Adela nobilis Christoph, 1882 View in CoL [misidentification]: Matsumura 1931: 1110; Matsumura 1932: 127, pl. 4, fig. 24; Issiki 1957: 12, pl. 1, fig. 23; Okano 1959: 277, pl. 183, fig. 6; Moriuti 1982: 1: 53, 2: pl. 1, figs. 24, 25.

Diagnosis. This species is similar to A. nobilis , but can be distinguished by the following characteristics: the yellowish long hairs of hind tibia, and the relatively long basal part of the ventral margin of valva in male genitalia.

Specimens examined. [ Taiwan] 1♁, Cuifeng, Taibei County , 2009.II.15, L.Z., Shi leg. ( HUNAU) .

Distribution. China (new record: Taiwan); Japan.

Remarks. The adults of this species usually fly in late spring and visit the flowers Rhododendron reticulatum (Ericaceae) and Acer sp. (Aceraceae) , and the males swarm above the flowers of Spiraea thunbergii (Rosaceae) in the sunlight ( Hirowatari 1997). This species has been recorded for the first time in China in this paper.
