Diagnosis. Adults of L. kogii ( Figs. 16 , 17 ) are distinguishable from the allied B. hoenei by the smaller size, ash-grey ground color of forewing and black-brown wing pattern. Basal line expressed; subbasal field grey; antemedial line wide, black with greyish suffusion inside; orbicular and reniform present, orbicular developed as small whitish dot, reniform as dark-brown spot on grey; postmedian line black, thin, dentate, connected with antemedial line by thin black streak or by several streaks; subterminal line whitish, diffused, subterminal and terminal fields with row of longitudinal diffused streaks; terminal line as row of semilunar streaks, cilia bicolored. Hindwing brownish-grey; terminal line dark, cilia pale yellowish-grey. Wingspan 28–29 mm. In male genitalia ( Fig. 32 ) uncus thin, relatively short, curved apically; tegumen longer than vinculum; juxta three-lobed, rather wide; valva long, slightly constricted medially; transtilla present; costa well developed, in apical third separated from membranous valva; clasper and harpe lie in longitudinal position, in central part of valva, basally fused with costa; clasper with elongate sclerotized basal plate, harpe long, thin, slightly curved apically, shorter than costa; sacculus small, clavus expressed; saccular extension long, longer then ¾ of valva, flattened, rounded on apex; apical part of valva membranous, rounded, lobe-like; aedeagus relatively short, thick, slightly curved, vesica large, bulbous, finely scobinated, with large diverticulum covered by dense minute spine-like cornuti. In female genitalia ( Fig. 47 ) ovipositor short and wide, papillae anales large, quadrangular; apophyses moderate, equally long; antrum large and wide, funnel like; ductus bursae short, moderately wide, membranous, ribbed; corpus bursae wide, sack-like, ribbed, without signum.

Distribution and biology. ( Fig. 56 ). South of Russian Far East, China, Korea, Japan (Hokkaido, Honshu, Kyushu, Tsushima I.). In the Far East L. kogii occurs along the edges of humid Manchurian broadleaved forest. Univoltine, with adults fliying from end of June to mid August. The larvae and foodplants are unknown. The species is reported here from China for the first time.
