Diagnosis. The species is externally similar to C. uralensis Toll, 1961 , and C. paradoxella Toll, 1961 , as well as genital characteristics, which share an elongated sacculus terminating into a tapering distal portion featuring denticles, a dorsally sclerotized bent phallotheca, and an absence of cornuti in the male genitalia, and the papillae anales with spicules along the inner margin, and evenly transparent ductus bursae. However, it can be distinguished from the latter by the following genital characteristics: 1) in the male genitalia of C. flavovena , an elongated sacculus terminating into a tapered and upturned distal portion is present, while in C. uralensis (see Baldizzone et al. 1992: Figs 5 , 6 ), male genitalia possess an elongated sacculus terminating into a tapered and downturned distal portion, and in C. paradoxella (see Richter 2022), male genitalia possess an elongated sacculus with a slightly downturned apical portion; 2) in the female genitalia of C. flavovena , the corpus bursae without any signa is present, while in C. uralensis (see Baldizzone et al. 1992: Figs 9–11 ) and C. paradoxella (see Baldizzone & Oku 1990a: 103), female genitalia possess the corpus bursae with a signum.

Adult ( Figs 8G ; 11G ): Forewing length 7.0–8.0 mm (wingspan 14.0–15.0 mm) (n=6) ( Moriuti 1982a: wingspan 11.0–12.0 mm; Baldizzone & Oku 1990a: wingspan 14.0 mm; Oku 2013: wingspan 11.0–15.0 mm). See also Moriuti (1982b: Pl. 12, Fig. 52); Kim & Park (2009: Fig. 9 ); Oku (2013: Figs 3 -30-25, 26); Park (2014: Pl. for adults, Fig. 11 ).

Male genitalia ( Figs 14A, B ; 22C ): See also Baldizzone & Oku (1990a: Figs 6 , 7 ).

Female genitalia ( Figs 17E ; 22D ): See also Baldizzone & Oku (1990a: Figs 9 , 10 ); Park & Baldizzone (1992: Figs 15, 15c ); Kim & Park (2009: Fig. 54); Park (2014: Fig. 11 ).

Larval case (leaf miner): Lobe case. See Baldizzone & Oku (1990a: Fig. 26 ); Jinbo & Suzuki (2023).

Host plants. [ Asteraceae ] Artemisia princeps Pamp. (some recorded as A. indica var. maximowiczii (Nakai) H.Hara ) and A. montana (Nakai) Pamp. ( Falkovitsh 2006; Oku 2013).

Distribution. Japan, Korea, Russia (Far East) ( Baldizzone et al. 2006; Kim & Park 2009; Park 2014; Anikin 2019).

Remarks. The species was first reported from Korea by Baldizzone & Oku (1990a).

Park & Baldizzone (1992) also reconfirmed the presence of the species with four females. Additionally, a brief description in Korean and an illustration of the male genitalia (see Park & Baldizzone 1992: Fig. 1 ) were provided. However, while the description pertains to the species, the illustration of the male genitalia was incorrect, depicting those of C. kononenkoi Baldizzone & Savenkov, 2002 .
