Abstract
Three new species of Ypsolopha Latreille are described from East Asia: Y. helva Sohn et Wu, n. sp., Y. sordida Sohn et Wu, n. sp., both from China; Y. pseudoparallela Sohn et Ponomarenko, n. sp. from Japan. Redescription of Y. contractella (Caradja), a poorly known species, is given with the first illustrations of genitalia of both species. The new combination, Ypsolopha diana (Caradja), transferred from Cerostoma, is proposed. Exclusion of Cerostoma xenicopis Meyrick from Ypsolopha is suggested with notes of its lectotype. The following new synonyms are proposed: Ypsolopha hebeiensis Yang, 1977 syn. n. = Y. leuconotella (Snellen, 1884); Ypsolopha affinitella (Staudinger, 1892) syn. n. = Y. dentella (Fabricius, 1775). Eight species are newly reported from China: Ypsolopha acuminata (Butler), Y. cristata Moriuti, Y. dentella (Fabricius), Y. japonica Moriuti, Y. nemorella (Linnaeus), Y. parenthesella (Linnaeus), Y. satellitella (Staudinger) and Y. yasudai Moriutu; two species are new to China and Korea, Y. amoenella (Christoph) and Y. asperella (Linnaeus); Y. contractella (Caradja) is new to Japan, Korea and China. A checklist of 42 species of Ypsolopha recorded from East Asia is provided.References
