TL: Japan , Hokkaido . Diagnosis. Z. japonicella is characterized by the dark purple spots suffused before middle of dorsum. This species is externally similar to Z . hepariella Stainton , but can be distinguished by the ovate valva, its maximal width 1.89 times as in the male genitalia, and the antrum about 2 times as long as the diameter of ostium bursae in the female genitalia. Redescription. Adult (Fig. 2). Wingspan 12–13 mm . Vertex with rough and erect cream white scales, extended to dorsal half of frons, frons otherwise with cream white, appressed scales, scales around compound eyes light brown. Antenna filiform; scape pale yellow brown with brown pecten; flagellum cream white, ringed with dark brown. Labial palpus porrect, blunt-tipped, ochreous inside, light brown outside, with ochreous tip. Thorax yellow brown mixed with violet luster; tegula dark purple. Fore- and midlegs from femur to tibia dark brown, mixed with ochreous, tarsus pale ochreous, ringed with dark brown; hindleg from femur to tibia dark brown, mixed with ochreous, tarsus ochreous. Abdomen pale shining gray. Forewing elongate, narrowed distally, ground color brown, with violet, lustrous, crescent-shaped patch at basal area, black brown streak from base to apex, mixed with violet luster along costa, distal 2/3 of wing length suffused with black brown scales; pale ochreous dorsal streak from basal 1/6 to 2/6, dark purple spots at middle of dorsum; fringe formed of black brown and purple, lustrous scales on termen, ochreous gray on basal 1/3 to termen. Hindwing and fringe ochreous gray. Male genitalia ( Figs. 8a, 8b ). Socius narrow, with a thorn at apex and curved outwardly. Tuba analis membranous. Uncus convex. Valva ovate, relation of length of valva to its maximal width 1.89; with a small ridge before about 1/4 of dorsal margin; sacculus with short stiff setae. Gnathos elongate, with drop-shaped median plate. Saccus narrow, about 1/3 length of valva. Aedeagus about 1.4 times as long as valva, cornuti composed of 2 rows of short spines. FIGURE 6. Wing venation of Zelleria , female, Gangwon Province, Korea (Paratype from INU). Female genitalia ( Fig. 11 ). Papilla analis semiovate. Apophysis posterioris as long as apophysis anterioris. Apophysis anterioris branched. Lamella postvaginalis setose, with posterior rounded lobes. Antrum cylindrical, sclerotized, about 2 times as long as the diameter of ostium bursae. Ductus bursae over 2 times as long as corpus bursae, tubular, membranous, granulose in proximal half beyond ductus seminalis. Corpus bursae long, narrow, gradually dilated anteriorly. Signum absent. Material examined. [INU] 1 ♀ , Korea , Gwangwon Province , Yangyang-gun , Seo-myeon , Osaekyaksu , 2.X.2005 ( YS Bae), genitalia slide no. INU-4659 . 12 ♂ , 13 ♀ , Korea , Gangwon Province , Mt.
