Material examined. About 150 specimens, including the holotype. Ninety-six specimens are from the Russian Far East and Korea (Shinohara 1995; Shinohara & Zinovjev 1996; Shinohara & Taeger 2007; present work). New collection data: SOUTH KOREA: Gangwon-do: 1♀, Mirugam (Bukdaesa), 1300m, Odaesan Mts., 29. V.–1. VI . 1996 , J.-W. Kim ( NSMT).

Distribution. Russia (Urals, eastern Siberia, Sakha Republic, Kamchatka Kraj, Magadanskaya Oblast, Khabarovskij Kraj, Primorskij Kraj), South Korea, Japan (Hokkaido, Honshu) ( Shinohara & Taeger 2007).

Host plant. Salicaceae : Salix caprea L. ( Shinohara & Hara 2009).

Remarks. Pamphilius tricolor belongs to the P. gyllenhali subgroup of the P. histrio group ( Shinohara 2002b) and is most closely related to the European P. gyllenhali (Dahlbom, 1835) . These two allopatric species are similar morphologically, though distinguishable from each other, and share the same host plant and larval habits (Shinohara 1995; Shinohara & Hara 2009). The available COI data for the two species were retrieved as monophyletic with 100% UFBoot support, but the two species were not clearly differentiated within the clade ( Fig. 142 ).
