Pamphilius pallipes: Kirby, 1882: 337 ; Konow, 1897a: 25, 31; Gussakovskij, 1935: 185, 377; Berland, 1947: 56; Verzhutskij, 1966: 28; Achterberg & Aartsen, 1986: 43; Zhelochovtsev & Zinovjev, 1995: 398; Taeger et al., 1998: 105; Shinohara, 2002b: 427; Shinohara, 2003a: 467; Shinohara, 2005: 40; Shinohara & Lelej, 2007: 937, 942; Taeger et al., 2010: 89; Sundukov & Lelej, 2012: 109; Sundukov, 2017: 105; Lee et al., 2019: 10 ; Shinohara & Tripotin, 2021a: 62.

Material examined. About 455 specimens, including the lectotype; 204 specimens are from the Russian Far East and Korea (Shinohara 2005; Shinohara & Tripotin 2021a; present work). New collection data: SOUTH KOREA: Gangwon-do: 4♀ 1♂ (incl. NSMT 30756–30759), Mirugam (Bukdaesa), 1300m, Odaesan Mts., 26. V.–2. VI . 2008 , A. Shinohara ( NSMT); 1♂, same locality, 28. V . 2009 , A. Shinohara ( NSMT).

Distribution. Europe, Iran, Siberia to Kamchatka Kraj and the continental part of the Russian Far East, northeastern China, North and South Korea (Shinohara 2005).

Host plant. Betulaceae : Betula spp. ,? Alnus spp. ( Taeger et al. 1998; Shinohara 2003a, 2005).

Remarks. This is a widely distributed Palaearctic species but not recorded from Japan ( Shinohara 2003a, 2005). It belongs to the P. vafer complex (Shinohara 2005) or the P. vafer subgroup of the P. vafer group ( Shinohara 2002b). The larva is a solitary leaf-roller, making a leaf-roll on the underside. The oviposition is on the upperside (Type II of Shinohara 2005). As noted under P. alnivorus , the site of oviposition (upperside of a leaf) and direction of leaf-rolling (underside) in this species and P. alnivorus are characteristic.
