Maiestas yangae Zhang & Duan, 2011 , Zootaxa 2870: 36 ( China).

Material examined. Korea, Gyeongbuk Province: 1 male, Daegu City , 06.X.1984 , Y.J. Kwon; 2 males, Dansanmyeon, 13.VIII.1983; 1 male, Hayang-eup, 8.X.1984; Gangwon Province: 6 males, 2 females, Balgyosan , 23.IX. 2016 ; 1 male, Giusan, 08.X.2016, all same collector.

Distribution. Korea (new record: Central, South), China (Jilin, Liaoning, Hunan, Jiangxi, Anhui).

Host plant. Unknown.

Remarks. Zhang & Duan (2011) reported some variation in the shape of the style apophysis in specimens of this species from China, but no such variation was observed in Korean material. This species can be diagnosed by the fairly short and broad aedeagal shaft, and by the style apophysis, which is abruptly tapered and narrowly rounded apically from midlength.
