Abstract

Batrachedra smilacis sp. nov. is described on the basis of specimens reared from fruit-borers on Smilacis china imported from China and inspected at the Plant Protection Station at Nagoya Seaport, Japan. Descriptions and illustrations are provided for the larval and pupal morphology as well as for the adult one. On the basis of several character states, the new species apparently belongs to the clade named by Kaila (2004) "the core Batrachedra". Several immature character states that may be additional apomorphies supporting the core Batrachedra are mentioned. Larvae of the new species are frequently detected in inspections of Smilax china imported from China at the Plant Protection Station. Some male and female specimens, which are quite similar to the new species in the genitalia but distinctly larger than the type specimens, were collected at several localities in Japan. These Japanese specimens are left untreated until their immature stages are discovered.
