Some remarkable plume moths (Lepidoptera, Pterophoridae) of Hokkaido, Japan

Abstract

Four species of plume moths (Pterophoridae) are dealt with. Three of them, Hellinsia tephradactyla (Hubner, 1813), Hellinsia didactylites (Strom, 1783) and Oxyptilus chrysodactyla ([Denis & Schiffermuller], 1775), were recently recorded from Japan, Hokkaido (Arenberger, 2002; Ijima & Kawahara, 2003), and adults and genitalia are illustrated. Albino specimens of Cnaemidophorus rhododactyla ([Denis & Schiffermuller], 1775) are recorded from Hokkaido and adult and genitalia are also illustrated.
