The male of this species is similar to those of H. moselyi Ulmer, 1932 , distributed in the Asian Far East ( Kumanski 1990 ), and H. giudicellorum Botosaneanu, 1980 , known from Europe ( Malicky 2004a ). All have long apico-lateral apodemes, the dorsal plate subtriangular, the subgenital plate membranous and broad, and the inferior appendages short with 2 lobes. Hydroptila botosaneanui is distinguished from the latter by its phallic apparatus with the subapical process almost straight and elongate with the apex curved. The female of this species is discriminated from that of H. kakidaensis , a related species in Japan , by lack of setae on the dorso-lateral margins of segment VIII. Distribution . Japan (Hokkaido, Honshu), Korea , Russian Far East (continental parts). Newly recorded for Japan . Habitat . Adults were collected in mountain lakes and streams. Japanese name . Kyunaga-hime-tobikera (newly given here).
