Glypta cymolomiae Uchida 1932: 156 View in CoL .

Description: Female (n=14). Body length 5.5–8.5 mm.

Head. Ca. 0.6 times as long as wide. Clypeus 0.7 times as long as wide, roundly convex in lateral view ( Fig. 2 View FIGURE 2 D). Face strongly convex medially ( Fig. 2 View FIGURE 2 D), 0.5 times as long as wide. Frons with a large median horn between each antennal socket, its apex relatively rounded ( Figs. 1 View FIGURE 1 D, 3 C). OOL 1.4–1.6 times as long as OD; POL 1.4–1.8 times as long as OD. Mandible with very narrow ventral flange by basal 0.5, its base flat. MSL 1.0–1.1 times as long as BWM. Antenna with 34–37 flagellomeres. F1 1.4–1.7 times as long as F2.

Mesosoma. Punctate, punctures on lateral lobes of mesoscutum (excluding near notaulus) separated by 0.3–2.0 (usually ca. 1.0) times their diameter. Epomia weak and short. Lateral area of pronotum entirely punctate except for ventral area longitudinally striated. Both sides of mesoscutum near tegula weakly and obtusely produced posteriorly. Propodeum entirely punctate. Anterior transverse carina of propodeum slightly present on lateral section. Lateromedian longitudinal carina of propodeum present on anterior section. Lateral longitudinal carina of propodeum largely obscured. Posterior transverse carina of propodeum complete. Fore wing length 5.0– 6.5 mm. Fore coxa with weak ridge antero-dorsally. Hind femur 5.2–5.8 times as long as maximum depth in lateral view. Hind TS1 2.0–2.2 times as long as TS2.

Metasoma. T1–T4 punctate ( Figs. 6 View FIGURE 6. T 1 D, 7 D). T1 1.2 times as long as maximum width, its median dorsal carina present on ca. basal 0.5 of tergite ( Fig. 6 View FIGURE 6. T 1 D). T2 0.9–1.0 times as long as maximum width. T2–T4 each with moderate a pair of oblique groove ( Fig. 7 View FIGURE 7. T 2 D). Ovipositor sheath ca. 0.7 times as long as fore wing, 2.1–2.2 times as long as hind tibia.

Colouration. Body (excluding wings and legs) black, except for: apical part of clypeus, mandible excluding apex and base (sometimes reduced into small spot on tip), posterior margin of each metasomal tergite tinged with reddish-brown; flagellum blackish-brown, its ventral surface more or less paler than dorsal surface; palpi, posterodorsal corner of pronotum, tegula, membranous parts of sternites and posterior part of subgenital plate yellow to yellowish-brown; ovipositor reddish-brown to yellowish-brown. Wings hyaline, slightly tinged with yellow; veins and pterostigma brown except for yellow wing base. Legs (hind leg: Fig. 4 View FIGURE 4 D) yellowish-brown, except for: fore coxa, all trochanters and all trochanters pale yellow; hind femur more or less darkened apically; subbasal band of hind tibia weakly tinged with black; apical part of hind tibia black; hind tarsus blackish-brown to black with basal yellow areas on TS1–TS3 and slightly on TS4 and TS5. Basal yellow areas of TS1 ca. 0.5 length of TS1, or slightly shorter than black area of TS1 and of TS2–TS3 shorter than each black area.

Male (n=3). Similar to female. OOL 1.0–1.4 times as long as OD; POL 1.2–1.8 times as long as OD. Propodeum with all carinae except for anterior transverse carina, lateromedian longitudinal carina and lateral longitudinal carina partly absent. Hind basitarsus 1.9 times as long as second tarsal segment. T1 1.2–1.3 times as long as maximum width, its median dorsal carina slightly longer and stronger than female. Posterior margin of subgenital plate convex to nearly straight ( Fig. 8 View FIGURE 8 D). Apical margin of paramere roundly produced ( Figs. 8 View FIGURE 8 E, 9 C, D). Dorsal margin of paramere with convexity apically ( Figs. 8 View FIGURE 8 E, 9 C). Mandible yellowish-brown except for brown tip. Yellow area of TS1 and TS2 larger than female.

Distribution ( Fig. 11 View FIGURE 11 ). Japan (Hokkaido, Honshu, and Kyushu*).

Biology. The following hosts were recorded in Japan: Acleris ulmicana (= A. boscana ) ( Momoi 1963), Acleris enitescens ( Nakaya 2009) , Grapholita molesta ( Uchida 1933; Haeussler 1940; Momoi 1963), Hedye dimidiana ( Nakaya 2009) , and Olethreutes mori ( Uchida 1932; Momoi 1963; Kusigemati 1987) ( Lepidoptera : Tortricidae ). The records by Uchida and Momoi are based on exact identification of G. cymolomiae but other records should be reexamined.

Remarks. This species is the most collected in Japan. Many other species having the reddish-brown to reddish-yellow hind coxa and the yellowish-brown to yellow hind femur and tibia were often misidentified as this species in several institutes. They are described in this study and can be distinguished from each other by the above key and Table 1 View TABLE 1 .
