Onycholyda armata: Shinohara, 1985a: 349 ; Shinohara & Beneš, 1988: 806; Shinohara & Byun, 1993: 82; Kim et al., 1994: 216; Zhelochovtsev & Zinovjev, 1995: 398; Shinohara, 2002b: 422; Shinohara, 2004: 262; Shinohara & Lelej, 2007: 929; Shinohara & Taeger, 2007: 32; Paek et al., 2010: 161; Taeger et al., 2010: 83; Sundukov & Lelej, 2012: 108; Sundukov, 2017: 103; Lee et al., 2019: 8.

Material examined. Twenty-eight specimens, including 26 specimens from the Russian Far East and South Korea ( Shinohara & Beneš 1988; Shinohara & Byun 1993; Shinohara & Taeger 2007; present work). New collection data: RUSSIA: Primorskij Kraj: 1♂ (DEI-GISHym 86268), Arsenyev, Ski-Base Bodrost, 200m, 44.122°N 133.270°E, 25. V. 2016, K. Kramp, M. Prous & A. Taeger RU017 ( SDEI); 1♀ ( Fig. 33 , DEI-GISHym 86315), 1♂ (DEI-GISHym 86314), Yakovlevka 12km NW, 250m, 44.541°N 133.366°E, 27. V. 2016, K. Kramp, M. Prous & A. Taeger RU019 ( SDEI). SOUTH KOREA: Gangwon-do: 1♀, Mirugam (Bukdaesa), 1,300 m, Odaesan Mts ., 4. VI. 2002, A. Shinohara ( NSMT).

Distribution. Russia (Tomskaja Oblast’, Khabarovskij Kraj, Primorskij Kraj), North and South Korea, China (Jilin).

Host plant. Unknown.

Remarks. The specimens recorded from Zhejiang Province, China, as O. armata by Shinohara & Xiao (2006) belong to O. atra Shinohara & Wei, 2016 ( Shinohara & Wei 2016). In China, O. armata has been found only in the northeastern part (Jilin).

Morphologically, this species closely resembles O. kumamotonis particularly in having a comparatively long flagellomere 1 and a similar structure of the male clypeus. Shinohara (2002b) placed these two species in his O kumamotonis complex of the O. luteicornis subgroup of the O. luteicornis group. This placement was supported by our NaK analysis, where the nearest neighbour of O. armata , diverging by a minimum of only 0.2%, was O. kumamotonis , and O. armata and O. kumamotonis formed a clade with 100% UFBoot support ( Fig. 153 ). However, in the COI analysis, the nearest neighbour, diverging by a minimum of 2.6%, was O. viriditibialis , with which O. armata formed a clade with 100% UFBoot support ( Fig. 138 ). The maximum p -distance between three specimens of O. armata from Primorskij Kraj was 0.6% in COI and 0% in NaK.

It is interesting that the known distributions of O. armata and O. kumamotonis do not overlap. Onycholyda armata is a continental species and O. kumamotonis occurs only in Japan and Sakhalin.
