Pamphilius kimi Shinohara, 1997: 227 ; Shinohara, 2002b: 429; Shinohara, 2004: 264; Taeger et al., 2010: 88; Lee et al., 2019: 10 .

Material examined. Fifty-five specimens (type series) from South Korea (Shinohara 1997) .

Distribution. South Korea.

Host plant. Unknown.

Remarks. Pamphilius kimi was described from a series of male specimens collected on the mountains of Gangwon-do, South Korea between 1992 and 1997 (Shinohara 1997). No additional collection records have been published and the females are still unknown. No molecular data for this species are available.

This is an isolated species in the P. vafer group and forms a subgroup of its own, the P. kimi subgroup ( Shinohara 2002b). It is one of the three species of Pamphilius ( P. heecheonparki , P. varius and P. kimi ) whose males are characterized by the anchor-shaped penis valves. From P. heecheonparki and P. varius , P. kimi is distinguished by the arcuately concave inner margin of the harpe ( Figs 11 : 61a; 89h, i).
