Article Abstract

(Meyrick, 1936), initially described from a single male specimen in Japan, is herein redescribed based on newly collected specimens from the type locality. Furthermore, we describe Park & Yagi, , a new species from Japan that closely resembles . The adults and genitalia of the two species are illustrated. The genitalia of from a specimen collected at the type locality are shown for the first time. DNA barcodes of the two species and the genetic distances of barcode regions among them and other congeners are provided.

Pachyrhabda citrinacma Meyrick, 1936, an endemic species to Formosa (Taiwan), was named by Edward Meyrick based on two specimens collected by Syuti Issiki. Despite some newly discovered stathmopodids exhibiting characteristics matching the original description, the lack of information regarding the type specimen depository led to the species remaining elusive since its initial naming. In this study, we successfully rediscovered a P.
