Pamphilius sulphureipes group

The members of this species group are characterized as follows: upper part of head glabrous; facial crest in male very strongly swollen, bluntly carinate; antennal flagellomere 2 1.8–2.9 × length of flagellomere 1; right mandible tridentate but incision between middle and apical teeth shallow or bidentate with only basal shoulder to apical tooth; left mandible tridentate with low middle tooth; wings hyaline; forewing with cell C glabrous or pilose; femora entirely pale. Subgenital plate in male without large setose appendage. Ovipositor sheath appendage slender subconical, pilose. Male genitalia ( Figs. 70h View FIGURE 70 , 120g View FIGURE 120 , 136g, h View FIGURE 136 ): proximal ventral arm of gonostipes normal; apiceps narrow or broad; valviceps in lateral view rather short, apex directed upwards, ventral margin more or less rounded, without conspicuous dorsoapical process.

Five East Asian species, two represented by two subspecies, are included ( Shinohara 2002b). Three species have been recorded in the Russian Far East and Korea.

Twenty sequences of four species were treated in the COI analysis and nine sequences of three species in the NaK analysis. In both analyses ( Figs 144 View FIGURE 144 , 158 View FIGURE 158 ), the P. sulphureipes group was retrieved as monophyletic with 100% UFBoot value. In both trees, the relationship (( P. coreanus + P. sulphureipes ) + P. zhelochovtsevi ) was supported by 99 or 100% UFBoot value on each node, and in the COI analysis, an additional species, P. ishikawai Shinohara, 1979 , from Japan, was recovered as sister to the clade of the three species, again with 100% UFBoot support.

A host plant is known only for P. ishikawai , whose larvae are solitary leaf-rollers on Saxifragaceae (Astilbe) ( Shinohara et al. 2016a). The other four members of this species group may also be associated with the plants of Saxifragaceae .
