Diagnosis.

Adult (Fig. 2E, F View Figure 2 ). Forewing length 15.5-18 mm. This species is similar to N. tristalis and N. inferior , but can be distinguished by the following characters: forewing longer; vertex scales brown, darker than in N. inferior ; cilia cream white at Cu2 to A1+2 for forewing, Cu2 to CuP for hindwing; subdiscal white spot of forewing quadrilateral or rounded, rather distinct; base of discal cell of hindwing partially white; gnathos of male genitalia slender and elongated (Fig. 5B View Figure 5 ); valva of male genitalia broader than in N. tristalis and N. inferior , with straight dorsal margin subapically (Fig. 5C View Figure 5 ); anterior apophysis of female genitalia slightly curved, expanded near bases, but not triangular (Fig. 8B View Figure 8 ); signum of female corpus brusae larger than that of N. tristalis and N. inferior (diameter 0.16-0.19 mm), with sharp projections at both edges of posterior margin (Fig. 8C View Figure 8 ). Ullah et al. (2017) provided diagnostic characters to distinguish this species from N. occultalis . Lu and Du (2020) mentioned genital differences between these species, as far as we can see, the specimen image of N. bispina by Lu and Du (2020) is externally distinguishable from this species by the cilia of each wing being concolorous with the ground color.

Distribution.

Japan, mainland China, Taiwan, Korea, Russia (southeast), Southeast Asia, Nepal, India.

Host plant.

Rubus buergeri Miq., R. palmatus Thunb. (in the field), R. buergeri , R. trifidus Thunb. (laboratory reared).

Remarks.

Nagia incomitata Swinhoe, 1894 has long been considered a synonym of N. quadrimaculalis , but based on the investigation of the type specimen, Lu and Du (2020) considered it likely to belong to Nosophora Lederer, 1863. We also follow this taxonomic treatment.

Our identification of this species in this study was based on external morphology ( Kollar and Redtenbacher 1844; Inoue 1982; Li et al. 2012; Sasaki and Yamanaka 2013; Ullah et al. 2017; Lu and Du 2020) and male genitalia (Li et al. 2012; Ullah et al. 2017; Lu and Du 2020). The species status was confirmed by DNA barcodes.
