Pamphilius alnivorus Shinohara, 2005: 99 ; Shinohara & Hara, 2005: 275; Shinohara & Lelej, 2007: 937, 942; Sundukov, 2009: 213; Taeger et al., 2010: 86; Sundukov & Lelej, 2012: 108; Sundukov, 2017: 104; Shinohara, 2019: 8; Shinohara, 2020: 23, 253.

Material examined. About 520 specimens, including the type series. Forty specimens are from the Russian Far East (Shinohara 2005; present work). New collection data: RUSSIA: Primorskij Kraj: 1♀ (DEI-GISHym 21865), Sikhote-Alin Reserve : Blagodatnoe cordon, 44.953°N 136.547°E, 2. VI GoogleMaps . 2016, M. Sergeev ( SDEI) .

Distribution. Russia (Yakutia, Khabarovskij Kraj, “Sikhote-alin”, Primorskij Kraj, Sakhalin), Japan (Hokkaido, Kunashiri Is., Shikotan Is.) (Shinohara 2005).

Host plant. Betulaceae : Alnus hirsuta Turcz. and/or its variety, var. sibirica (Fischer) C. K. Sch. , Alnus japonica (Thunb.) Steud. (Shinohara 2005; Shinohara & Hara 2005).

Remarks. Pamphilius alnivorus , P. masao Shinohara, 2005 , and P. pallipes ( Zetterstedt, 1838) belong to the P. vafer complex (Shinohara 2005) or the P. vafer subgroup of the P. vafer group ( Shinohara 2002b), which comprises nine closely related Palaearctic species associated with Alnus and Betula . In our molecular study ( Figs 148–151, 160, 161), the relationships of this group of species were poorly resolved. In the NaK analysis ( Fig. 160), the two specimens of P. alnivorus from Japan did not even form a clade.

Pamphilius alnivorus is closest to P. nakagawai Takeuchi, 1930 , occurring in Honshu, Shikoku and Kyushu, Japan, in morphology and bionomics (Shinohara 2005). The larva of P. alnivorus is a solitary leaf-roller on Alnus , making a leaf-roll on the underside but oviposition is on the upperside (Type II of Shinohara 2005). The site of oviposition (upperside of a leaf) and direction of leaf-rolling (underside) in this species are quite peculiar, otherwise known only for the Betula -feeding species, P. pallipes (Shinohara 2005) .
