Abstract

A lyonetiid leaf miner Proleucoptera parnasiella Ahn and Hirowatari sp. nov. is described from Japan. The larvae feed into a leaf of Parnassia palustris (Parnassiaceae) and make a blotch mine. The new species superficially resembles and is most closely related to P. oxyphyllella Kuroko from Japan, but it can be distinguished from the latter by the larger valva in the male genitalia lacking the small weakly sclerotized projection.
