Diagnosis. This species is easily distinguished from other species by the forewing, scattered with numerous long variegated stripes. In addition, the vertex and labial palpus were covered with dark brown to black long hairs.

Specimens examined. [ Taiwan] 1♁, Wugongshan (1,000 m), Maolin Country, Gaoxiong City , 2002.III.23, B. Tanaka & T. Mano leg. ; 1♁, Tengzhi (1,400 m), Taoyuan Country , Gaoxiong County, 2002.III.24, T. Mano leg. ; [Jilin] 2♁, Zhuqueshan Park, Fengman District, Jilin City , 2021.V.10, C.H. Zhou leg. ( HUNAU) .

Distribution. China (Jilin, Beijing, Taiwan); Russia, Japan.

Remarks. The ovipositing host plants of this species have been reported to be Castanea crenata Sieb. (Fagaceae) and Salix sieboldinana Blume (Salicaceae) , and their life histories have been described in detail ( Kuroko 1961b; Hirowatari 2000; Yu 2015). The female adults lay eggs in the ovaries of the Salix and the first instar larvae feed on plant tissues. The second instar larvae produce portable cocoons utilized by catkin flowers of Salix , and then the larvae begin to feed on the ground and retrofit the cocoons with the dead leaves until pupation and emergence ( Kuroko 1961b).
