Hypopygium
(
Figs 3–10
). Tergite IX with “anal point” which like small rounded protuberance, and with 29–42 setae, 12–20 μm long; laterosternite IX with 15–20 setae (from one side), 44–48 μm long. Transverse sternapodeme high, almost trapezoidal, 128–132 μm long of specimens from
South Korea
, 92 μm long of specimen from South Sakhalin, and 148–152
μm wide in basal part, 88–100 μm wide in subapical part, with rounded apex (
Figs 4–5
).
Gonocoxite 308–310μm long. Basal lobe of gonocoxite is various shapes and depends on its position; in the inner half with microtrichia, along the outer margin with short setae (

, covered by setae 40–60 μm long. Gonostylus 156
μm long, scoop-shaped; inner lobe along the margin with 5–9 megasetae 12–16 μm long and one subterminal tooth; outer lobe widely triangular, inner margin of which with strong setae
20–24 μm long, outer half with thinner and longer setae 56–72 μm long (

). HR

REMARKS. Additional material from
South Korea
allowed a more detailed study of the internal structure of the male hypopygium, namely transverse sternapodeme, which in complex with aedeagal lobe, basal lobe of gonocoxite and inferior volsella is typical for
Boreoheptagyiini
. Males from both populations are close related by all features but specimens from
South Korea
have more a long transverse sternapodeme (128–132 μm) than specimen from
South
Sakhalin
(92 μm).
