Tin2.–2a, 2b. Diagnosis. The morphological differences between M. plana and M. fasciculata are detailed above in the ‘Diagnosis’ for M. plana . Redescription. Head: Resembling that of M. plana , but differing in having vertex and frons clothed with yellowish white hairs. Thorax: Length of forewing 6.4–9.0 mm; forewing expanse 14.0– 18.8 mm . Wing markings ( Fig. 1 B) resembling those of M. plana , but differing in having forewing dorsal surface grayish white in ground color. Wing venation ( Fig. 2 B) resembling that of M. plana . Abdomen: Male genitalia ( Figs. 5 A–F) resembling those of M. plana , but differing as follows: saccus broad and rounded ventrally; apical serrate process of valva slender and long, 2/3 length of width of valva. Juxta nearly round; length of phallus about 7 times as long as broad in middle. Female genitalia ( Figs. 6 A–B) resembling those of M. fasciculata , but differing as follows: concavity of posterior margin of ostium bursae about 2/3 width of ostium bursae; width of antrum 1/4 length of antrum. Distribution. Japan : Honshu, Shikoku (newly recorded) and Kyushu; Korea , Russia (Primorsky). Specimens examined.

Kagoshima Pref.: 2♂ , 2♀, Kaigata, Tarumizu-shi, 5.vii.2014 , emerged (from Trametes versicolor ) 18.viii.2014 , Y. Osada leg. Remarks. Known larval hosts are Trametes kusanoana Imazeki ( Robinson 1986 ) and Lenzites vespaceus ( Pers .) Ryv. ( Sakai 2013 ) . In addition, larvae have been collected from Trametes versicolor (L.:Fr.) Quél. Within M. fasciculata , no intraspecific variation, such as geographical clines in the genital morphology, could be recognized.
