First report of the genus Heleanna Clarke (Lepidoptera, Tortricidae, Olethreutinae) from the Palaearctic region, with descriptions of two new species from Japan and Korea

Abstract

We describe two new species of the genus Heleanna Clarke, H. turpinivora, sp. nov. and H. tokyoensis, sp. nov. from Japan and Korea, with illustrations of adults and genitalia. Biology and morphology of the immature stages of H. turpinivora feeding on Turpinia ternata Nakai (Staphyleaceae) are described. The genus has previously been reported from the Oriental and Australian regions. In this study, we record this genus for the first time from the Palaearctic region, based on materials from Honshu, Japan and Jeju-do Island, Korea. Morphology of immature stages of the genus is discussed.
