Phyllonorycter View in CoL sp. 5 ( cf. dakekanbae Kumata )

Material examined. Russia: SO, Sakhalin Island, Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk, Gagarin Park , 46.96N, 142.75E, 69 m alt., Betula platyphylla , 11.VII.2017, 1 larva, NK621 GoogleMaps , MK 403716 View Materials , deposited in INRA.

Leaf mine. The mine is similar to one of Ph. ulmifoliella on Betula platyphylla ( Fig. 12B View FIGURE 12 ). Pupation in the mine.

Trophic specialization. Monophagous on Betula platyphylla (Betulaceae) .

Distribution. Russia: RFE—SO.

Remarks. BIN of unknown species—BOLD: ADM2521. In East Asia, four species of Phyllonorycter develop on Betula : Ph. cavella (Zeller) , Ph. dakekanbae (Kumata) , Ph. ulmifoliella (Hübner) , and Ph. ermani (Kumata) ( De Prins & De Prins 2018) . The first three species are known to colonize Betula platyphylla , the latter species develops only on B. ermanii . The nearest neighbor to Phyllonorycter sp. 5 is Ph. ulmifoliella with a genetic distance 3.0% ( Table 2 View TABLE 2 ). The other two Betula -feeding species, Ph. cavella and Ph. ermani , are genetically more divergent (>11%) comparing to Phyllonorycter sp. 5 ( Table 2 View TABLE 2 ). No DNA barcode sequences of Ph. dakekanbae exist in genetic databases. Keeping in mind that it feeds on the same host plant as Phyllonorycter sp. 5, the latter could be Ph. dakekanbae .
