Diagnosis.

This species is characterized by the following characters: prothorax moderately constricted in the subapical part (Fig. 34); elytra with weakly prominent humeri, gently convergent toward the subapical calli (Fig. 35); scales in a row on elytral intervals, semirecumbent, evidently shorter than width of each interval (Fig. 35); apical half of the male rostrum slightly widened (Fig. 22); male metaventrite weakly prominent ventrally along the apico-lateral margin of the metaventral receptacle; male ventrite I with a median prominence along the apical margin; penis with apical projection blunt, rounded at the apex (Figs 41, 51, 61); basal part of the endophallus with a pair of fig-like sclerites (Figs 40, 50, 60); female sternite VIII with slender arms that are arcuate apically (Figs 47, 57, 67); posterior part of the bursa copulatrix densely covered with minute coniform spicules (Figs 45, 55, 65).

Male.

Biological note.

Adults of this common species were collected from Rubus idaeus L. subsp. melanolasius Focke f. concolor (Kom.) Ohwi in Korea ( Korotyaev and Hong 2004). In addition, we collected a number of adults at several localities in the southern Korean Peninsula, mainly from Rubus crataegifolius Bunge with flower buds and Rubus pungens Camb. var. oldhamii (Miq.) Maxim. with flowers. In Japan, adults have been collected on many occasions from Rubus species, such as Rubus crataegifolius , Rubus microphyllus , and Rubus trifidus . In Toyosawa-rindou, Iwate, Honshu (Fig. 135), a number of adults (Fig. 138) were found on Rubus crataegifolius (Fig. 136) and observed feeding on the leaves and flowers of the plant (Fig. 137).
