3.3.5. Arctigalloisiana sp. A

Material examined. 1 female (B2-407757, MNHAH), Horokanai Town, Teshio Mountains , Hokkaido, DATE, M. Komazawa leg. 1 female (B2-407758), Otoineppu Village, Teshio Mountains , Hokkaido, 30-IX-2015, M. Komazawa leg. 2 larvae (B2-407759, B2-407760, MNHAH), Esashi Town, Kitami Mountains , Hokkaido, DATE, M. Komazawa leg.

Remarks. Two adult individuals in Horokanai Town and Otoineppu Village, Teshio Mountains (Hokkaido, Japan) and four larvae individuals in Esashi Town, Kitami Mountains (Hokkaido, Japan) were collected. Two of these larvae individuals were lost through genetic analysis, but four were deposited at the MNHAH (B2-407757–B2- 407760). All morphological measurements of the female adult morphology were approximately the same as that of A. yezoensis (Table S1). The morphology of male adult individuals could not be compared to other species. Adult specimens could not also be collected from the Kitami and Teshio Mountains, and morphological observations could not be conducted in the Kitami and Teshio Mountains. Consequently, the species remained undescribed in our study, although genetic analysis supported its monophyly ( Fig. 2 ).
