Phyllonorycter View in CoL sp. 1

( Fig. 13F View FIGURE 13 )

Material examined. Russia: PK, Sikhote-Alin Mts, National park “Zov tigra”, 43.60N, 134.30E, 690 m alt., Tilia sp., 10.VII.2010, 1 larva, NK31, KX818885 View Materials , (INRA); Vladivostok, Akademgorodok, city plantation, 43.19N, 131.92E, 82 m alt., T. mandshurica , 15.VII.2013, 1 pupa, NK205, KX818718 View Materials ; Gornotaezhnoe, MTS, arboretum, 43.69N, 132.16E, 160 m alt., T. taquetii , 25.VIII.2011, 1 larva, NK236, KX818723 View Materials ; same location, T. mandshurica , 16.VII.2013, 1 larva, NK208, KX818721 View Materials ; same location, T. amurensis , 10.VII.2015, 1 male (reared from leaf mine), M. Ponomarenko leg., NK601, MK403722 View Materials , all deposited in INRA.

Leaf mine. The mine ( Fig. 13F View FIGURE 13 ) is not distinguishable from that of Ph. issikii ( Fig. 12C View FIGURE 12 ).

Trophic specialization. Monophagous on Tilia (Malvaceae) . T. amurensis , T. mandshurica , T. taquetii , Tilia sp.

Distribution. Russia: RFE—AO, KK, PK (Baryshnikova 2006); Japan ( Kumata 1963), Korea ( Kumata et al. 1983), China ( Kirichenko et al. 2017c). Phyllonorycter sp. 1 and Ph. issikii occur in sympatry ( Kirichenko et al. 2017c).

Remarks. BIN of unknown species—BOLD:ACC3074. The maximum intraspecific divergence in the cluster represented by five unidentified specimens ( Fig. 3 View FIGURE 3 ) is 1.2%. In East Asia, only one Tilia -feeding Phyllonorycter species is known— Ph. issikii ( Kumata 1963) . The minimum interspecific genetic distance between our unidentified species and Ph. issikii is 5.4% ( Table 2 View TABLE 2 ), suggesting that Phyllonorycter sp. 1 may be an undescribed species. This putative new cryptic species was already mentioned in our previous study ( Kirichenko et al. 2017c). To confirm its novelty, a representative series of adults is needed for morphological analysis.
