Diagnosis.
Lophomilia polybapta
(
Fig. 7, 8
) can be recognized by the dark reddish-brown coloration of forewing with purplish tint, which is darker in the outer part, and by its characteristic wing pattern which is similar to
L. flaviplaga
and
L. takao
, but differs by absence of white bars at ante- and postmedial lines and the bright yellow patch. Antemedial line dark brown, distinct in dorsal part, diffused in costal part of wing, acutely angled basally towards costa; postmedian line arises at dorsum as a narrow, white, diffused line bordered inside by a dark brown suffusion which is more intensive in medial fields between ante- and postmedian lines and becomes distinct in costal area; orbicular expressed as small dot, reniform as distinct, small dot; subterminal line diffused; subterminal field with row of diffused streaks, surrounded by yellowishwhite margins in costal area. Wingspan
25–27 mm
. In male genitalia (
Fig. 28
), the species differs from its allies by rather massive, sickle-like uncus; slightly wider shape of valva with costa separated from membrane in apical part of valva; thin, moderate and acute extension of sacculus; shape of clasper with sclerotized basal plate and shape of harpe, which is shorter than half of costa and rather weak. Aedeagus relatively thin, vesica large, bulbous, with apical diverticulum, without cornuti. In female genitalia (
Fig. 43
) ovipositor short, rather small, papillae anales moderate; apophyses small, thin, equally long; antrum small and relatively wide, ductus bursae very short, flattened, sclerotized; corpus bursae rounded, rather wide, with single signum in bottom part.
Distribution and biology
(
Fig. 52
). Russian Far East, Primorye Terr.,
Korea, North
China
,
Japan
(Honshu, Shikoku, Kyushu, Tsushima Is.). The species is reported from
Russia
for the first time. In the Far East
L. polybapta
was collected in Manchurian broad leaved forests with
Quercus mongolica
. Probably bivoltine, adults flying from late June to mid August. In
Japan
the larvae feed on oak (
Quercus acutissima
) and chestnut (
Castanea crenata
) (
Miyata 1983
; Yamamoto & Sugi 1978).
