REMARKS

The identity of this species, described from Japan and Taiwan is uncertain as it is known only from a female type and males are needed for species identification. However, from the figures given by Kato (1933a, b) and images of a type given by Xu et al. (2022) taken by Dr Masami Hayashi from the Kato family collection ( Japan), the marking on the forewings indicate it is correctly placed in Homa .
