(5) Adela nobilis Christoph, 1882 View in CoL

(Plates I-3, XII-3)

Adela nobilis Christoph, 1882: 7 View in CoL (TL: Russia, Vladivostok; BMNH); Meyrick 1912a: 10; Meyrick 1912b: 8 (E. Siberia); Matsumura 1931: 1110, fig. 2324 ( Japan); Matsumura 1932: 127, pl. 4, fig. 24 (list of Japan); Hirowatari 1997: 272, figs. 2, 8 (redescription); Kozlov 1997d: 289; Ji et al. 2018: 897, figs. 1a, 1b, 2a, 3a ( Korea).

Diagnosis. This species is similar to A. praepilosa Hirowatari , but can be characterized by the following characteristics: the fore- and hind-tarsi have distinct yellow rings; the male genitalia has prominently wide and short valva; and the extended basal part of the sacculus.

Specimens examined. [ Guangxi] 2♁, Liangsui, 1,750 m, Maoershan National Nature Reserve, Guilin City , 1996.V.26, M. Wang leg. ( HUNAU) .

Distribution. China (new record: Guangxi); Russia, Korea.

Remarks. This species was first described by Christoph (1882) based on specimens from the Russian Far East and has been reported in some regions of Japan ( Matsumura 1931, 1932; Issiki 1957; Okano 1959; Kuroko 1966; Moriuti 1982). However, Hirowatari (1997) examined the types of this species deposited in the BMNH and found that the Japanese representative has long been erroneously regarded as A. nobilis which is not distributed in Japan. This species has been recorded for the first time in China in this study.
