A lyonetiid leaf miner Proleucoptera parnasiella Ahn and Hirowatari sp. nov. is described from Japan. The larvae feed into a leaf of Parnassia palustris (Parnassiaceae) and make a blotch mine. The new species superficially resembles and is most closely related to P. oxyphyllella Kuroko from Japan, but it can be distinguished from the latter by the larger valva in the male genitalia lacking the small weakly sclerotized projection.

A pyraustine, Anania syneilesidis n. sp., is described from Japan, with mtDNA COI sequence and the larval habit. The species is distinct from the closely related species, A. crocealis in the western Palaearctic Region, in having different wing markings and genitalic features, in addition to well-developed pinacula on the larval skin. The larva feeds on Syneilesis palmata (Asteraceae), which is limited to eastern Asia and a new host plant for Anania species. The larvae live gregariously on the host leaves, and cut the proximal parts of the leaf veins before feeding. This performance might be explained as a defensive behavior against poisonous exudates from the host plant. The taxonomic status of the genus Ebulea which is treated as a synonym of Anania is discussed, with special reference to the genitalic features.

Artificial hybrids between Neope goschkevitschii (Menetries, 1857) and N. niphonica Butler, 1881 (Lepidoptera, Nymphalidae)

Neope goschkevitschii and N. niphonica are closely related species that occur sympatrically in various areas of Japan. In order to verify the possible existence of natural hybrids and genetic introgression between these species, artificial hybridization and backcrossing experiments were conducted by hand pairing. The results showed that adult male and female F1 hybrid individuals of both species were not capable of reproducing and that genetic introgression between these species must not occur in the natural environment.

Targalla delatrix (Guenee) and its close relatives from East and Southeast Asia are revised. A new species, T. silvicola sp. nov. is described from China, Vietnam, Laos, Taiwan and Japan. T. subocellata pantarcha Turner is recognized here as a good species distinct from T. subocellata (Walker) and is treated as T. pantarcha (Turner) stat. rev. Additionally, T. infida Walker sp. rev. is treated here as a distinct species from T. palliatrix (Guenee). In addition, using the DNA barcoding data of mitochondrial DNA (COI) genes, together with the Targalla data already registered in GenBank, we can distinguish seven Targalla species successfully and an NJ-tree is given.
