Abstract

A new species, Eriocrania carpinella Mizukawa, Hirowatari & Hashimoto is described from the Tokai district (Aichi Prefecture) and the Kii Peninsula (Osaka, Nara, and Mie Prefectures), Japan. This species is inferred to be closely related to E.semipurpurella (Stephens) by morphological and molecular analyses, but distributional and biological differences between these species are obvious: 1) E.semipurpurella occurs in Hokkaido and mountainous areas of central and northern Honshu, while E.carpinella allopatrically occurs in lower elevations of central Honshu where located southern restricted areas of the southernmost distribution of E.semipurpurella; 2) E.semipurpurella utilizes Betula platyphylla var. japonica (Miq) Hara as a host plant, E.carpinella was found by rearing to feed on Carpinus laxiflora (Sieb. et Zucc.) Blume, and by molecular analyses to be conspecific with eriocraniid larvae feeding on C.cordata Blume and C.tschonoskii Maxim. Based on the distribution and molecular analyses, it is suggested that E.carpinella might originate from a host-shift during the Pliocene glacial fluctuation.
