Trichocera (Metatrichocera) latilobata Alexander, 1938

( Fig. 21 )

Trichocera latilobata Alexander, 1938: 133 , Figs. 3 , 26 .

Trichocera (Metatrichocera) latilobata: Dahl & Alexander 1976: 14 .

Previous records for Korea ( Fig. 32 ): 1 male, North Korea, Ompo, altitude 650 ft., 11.08.1937., coll. A. M. Yankovsky ( Alexander 1938).

Notes. This species is only known from the holotype specimen (it was not available for this study) and it’s identity remains unclear, as only the wing and part of the male genitalia were illustrated by Alexander (1938), not allowing for unambiguous identification of this species.
