Description
Agnoea (Tubuliferodes) josephinae (Toll, 1956)
(Figs 4, 8, 10)
Tubuliderola josephinae Toll, 1956: 85. Type locality: Poland, Kreis Cieszyn, Ustroń, Berg Równica.
Pseudatemelia josephinae; Jaeckh, 1972: 139.
Agnoea (Tubuliderodes) josephinae; Sinev & Lvovsky, 2014: 142.
Diagnosis. This species is similar to Agnoea digitiella in external appearance but differs from the latter in having the larger size (forewing length 8.5–9.6 mm) and the longer saccular extension in the male genitalia (Fig. 8).
Material examined. 4♂, 1♀, Chungbuk Prov., Jecheon, Hansu, Songgyeri, Mt. Weolagsan (N36°51′15.6″ E128°04′53.8″), 28 V 2013 (JC Sohn), [GSN] SJC-1200 (♂), 1201 (♀).
Distribution. Korea, Japan (Hokkaido), Russia, Europe.
Bionomics. The larvae feed on the dead leaves of Carpinus, Fagus, Populus, Quercus, and Vaccinium (Toll, 1964; Harper et al., 2002). They carry a case composed of the dead leaves. It is known in Europe that the larval stage lasts two years (Jäckh 1959).
Remarks. Koo et al. (2021) reported this species for the first time from Korea. Our specimens of A. josephinae show some differences in the male genitalia from the ones illustrated in Koo et al. (2021). Systematic value of those differences needs to be critically reviewed with COI barcodes.
