Phyllonorycter View in CoL sp. 7
( Fig. 14A View FIGURE 14 )
Material examined. Russia: PK, Gornotaezhnoe , forest around MTS, 43.68N, 132.17E, 224 m alt., Ulmus glabra , 23.VII.2016, 1 pupa, NK550 GoogleMaps , MK 403718 View Materials ; SO, Sakhalin Island, Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk , BGIS, 47.05N, 142.74E, 57 m alt., U. davidiana var. japonica , 12.VII.2017, 1 larva, NK626 GoogleMaps , MK 403715 View Materials , deposited in INRA.
Leaf mine. The mine is an elongated, significantly contracted blotch, strictly between the secondary veins on the lower side of the leaf ( Fig. 14A View FIGURE 14 ). Later, the epidermis-covering mine becomes brown as usually happens to vacated mines, but in this case the larva is still present in the mine ( Fig. 14A View FIGURE 14 ). Pupation in the mine.
Trophic specialization. Monophagous on Ulmus : U. glabra , U. davidiana var. japonica (Ulmaceae) .
Distribution. Russia: RFE—PK, SO (Sakhalin Island).
Remarks. BIN of unknown species—BOLD: ACN4282. No genetic divergence detected between the two DNA barcoded specimens of Phyllonorycter sp. 7 from Ulmus glabra and U. davidiana var. japonica . In BOLD, the closest neighbor to Phyllonorycter sp. 7 is an unidentified Phyllonorycter sampled from Ulmus in Taiwan, with minimal interspecific distance 4.9%, followed by the European species, Ph. tristrigella , 5.5%. In East Asia, five Ulmus -feeding species occur: Ph. bicinctella (Matsumura) (hosts: Ulmus davidiana var. japonica , U. pumila ), Ph. laciniatae (Kumata) ( U. davidiana var. japonica , U. laciniata , U. pumila ), Ph. pumilae (Ermolaev) ( U. pumila ), Ph. ulmi (Kumata) ( U. davidiana , U. davidiana var. japonica , U. laciniata , Zelkova serrata , and Ph. valentina (Ermolaev) ( U. davidiana var. japonica , U. macrocarpa ) ( De Prins & De Prins 2018). Among these species, the sequences of two species, Ph. pumilae and P. ulmi , are only available in genetic databases. The minimum interspecific divergence between Phyllonorycter sp. 7 and the two species Ph. ulmi and Ph. pumila reaches 7.5% and 12.2%., respectively ( Table 2 View TABLE 2 ). Phyllonorycter sp. 7 may potentially be Ph. laciniatae that develops on U. davidiana var. japonica in East Asia, but less likely Ph. bicinctella or Ph. valentina that feed on other Ulmus species.
