Diagnosis.
Distinguished by the yellowish wing color with a medially curved central forewing fascia. Dimorphic size (wingspan male
19-25 mm
, female
33 mm
). Head covered with yellow scales; antenna bipectinate with long pectinations in male and short pectinations in Biological Resources (NIBR, (NIBR 201801201), fund- ed by the Ministry of Environment (MOE) of the
Republic of Korea
.

Last instar of
Euproctis fulvatus
sp. nov.
female; frons broad and yellowish; labial palpi porrect, short and approximately equal to the eye diameter. Forewing dark yellowish; central fascia ochreous, slender, bar-shaped, medially curved. Hindwing yellowish white and termen dark yellowish. Abdomen dark yellow.
Male genitalia
(
Fig. 2D, E
): Uncus bifid, digitate, apically with a short triangular process; saccus V-shaped; valva simple, square, distally strongly invaginated; aedeagus stout, anterior broad; one long sclerotized cornutus present.
Female genitalia
(
Fig. 2C
) Papillae anales broad; ductus dursae long, medially twisted, posteriorly strongly sclerotized with simple antrum; corpus bursae ovate without signum.
Larvae
(
Fig. 3
). Distinguished by a black head with a pair of long, black, lateral tufts, dorsum with 10- 11 white intersegmental dots and bright red setal warts on T2-A8, and bright red glands on A6 and A7. Larva to
3 cm
.
Biology.
This species feeds on
Vicia angustifolia
var.
segetilis
(L.) Schreb. (1835) (
Fabales
).
Three larvae
on
Vicia
were collected on
April 20 and 21, 2018
, molted twice (April 28 and May 6), pupated
May
19 and eclosed
June
8 and 9.
The
species is bivoltine, flying in
June
and Au- gust-
September
in
Korea
.
Distribution.
Korea
.
Remarks.
This new species is similar to
Euproctis wilemani
Collenette
, but can be distinguished by the shape of male genitalia (
Fig. 2F
). The DNA sequence of
E. fulvatus
(Appendix 1) is similar to that of
E. pyraustis
Meyrick
(GenBank accession number: KP081919), but the nucleotide sequence of
E. pyraustis
has a 9.6% sequence divergence from
E. fulvatus
.
