JP-305 (♂), JP-306 (♀), NMNS .</p><p>Diagnosis.</p><p>This species is externally similar to whitish Erechthias species, E. itoi, E. acrodina Meyrick, 1912 and E. charadrota but it can be distinguished by the following characteristics: from the base to the basal 1 / 3 of the costal margin is black, but the middle is interrupted by a cream to white spot in the forewing (almost black, but with a narrow white line in E. itoi; from the base to the basal 1 / 4 cream without black scales in E. acrodina; completely black in E. charadrota). The male genitalia are also similar to those of E. itoi, E. acrodina, and E. charadrota, but it can be distinguished by the shape of valva: the shape of the valva is oval, without the basicostal process, and the ventral margin is slightly rounded (the elongate basicostal process is present and the ventral margin curved at apical 1 / 3 in E. itoi, the basicostal process is absent and slightly concaved at ventral margin in E. acrodina, the shape of valva rounded is rectangle and the basicostal process is absent in E. charadrota). The female genitalia are also similar to those of E. itoi, but it can be distinguished by the shape of signum: the signum is small, simple knob-shaped, and with no additional lobes (the signum is absent in E. itoi).</p><p>Additional description.</p><p>Measurements. Forewing length 6.8 mm in male, 8.1 mm in female, antenna length 4.8 mm in male, 5.0 mm in female in Ogasawara Islands. Wingspan 13 mm in male in original description.</p><p>Distribution.</p><p>Japan (Honshu, Shikoku, Kyushu, Tsushima Is., Hahajima Is., Okinawajima Is., Ishigakijima Is., Iriomotejima Is., Yonagunijima Is.), Taiwan, and South Korea (Sakai 2013; Lee et al. 2020; Park et al. 2024 b).</p><p>Biology.</p><p>Larvae bore under the rotten bark and feed on the cambium. Adults were collected in June and July in Honshu and from May to July on Ishigaki Island (Sakai 2013). On the Ogasawara Islands, two adults emerged from rotten wood (see remarks) in May.</p><p>DNA analyses.</p><p>DNA barcodes were not generated.</p><p>Remarks.</p><p>Since there is no plant called “ Shima-yabunikkei, ” as was labeled by M. Takakuwa, it is assumed that the name refers to the Cinnamomum pseudopedunculatum Hayata (Ogasawara-yabunikkei). This species was not collected during the study period (2022–2024).</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/C9EE2345F1BB5A9C8B87C9E1D5CEC642	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Forewing ground color dark brown with cream to yellow oblique spots; costal margin with four trapezoidal spots: basal 1 / 3, middle, subapical area, and apex; dorsum with two spots: basal 1 / 8 and 2 / 3; submarginal area of termen and apex cream, fringed with black scales; cilia gray on outer margin, underside dark brown. Hindwing venation with Sc + R 1, Rs, M 1–3, CuA 1–2 and CuP, 1 A + 2 A present; Rs reduced and fused with Sc + R 1, terminating on costa at apical 1 / 3; M 1 and M 2 stalked at basal 2 / 3 of wing; M 1 terminating on costa at subapex; Sc and R modified to accommodate secondary sexual scaling; frenulum a single slender bristle. Hindwing fuscous brown to gray; cilia fuscous brown to gray; base of Sc and R with secondary sexual scaling. Abdomen. covered with dark brown to fuscous brown scales.</p><p>Female. (Figs 15, 16, 14, 26, 50) Forewing length 3.3–5.0 mm (n = 11), antenna length 2.1–3.1 mm (n = 8) in paratypes. Almost same as male but different as follows: tibia not concaved in hind leg; yellow spots tend to be wider than male in forewing; Sc + R 1 not modified, Rs terminating on costa at apical 1 / 5 in hindwing vein; hindwing simple, not with secondary sexual scaling; frenulum consisting of two slender bristles.</p><p>Male genitalia. (Fig. 34) Uncus long, a pair of membranous lobes, apex with few bristles. Tegumen narrow ribbon-shaped, fused with vinculum. Vinculum almost same length of tegumen; saccus rounded triangle. Valva elongated narrow trapezoidal with rough bristles at ventral and anterior margins; ventral margin straight, apically rounded; dorsal costa broad, with short spines, basicostal process absent. Juxta strongly sclerotized, elongated and narrow pouched. Phallus thick cylindrical, weakly curved, 1.4 × length of valva; vesica with one pair of twisted, sharp, blade-shaped cornuti and a few small spicular cornuti.</p><p>Female genitalia. (Fig. 42) Ovipositor broad, 3 × length of segment VIII; papillae analis with rough short bristles; apophysis posterioris slightly longer than apophysis anterioris. Segment VIII broad, rectangular, posterior margin with ~ 20 long bristles; tergum VIII with stout dorsal rami fusing with apophysis anterioris; ostium located at anterior margin of sternum VIII; ostium wide, funnel-shaped with many small spines, posterior end weakly sclerotized. Ductus bursae tubular, 2.3 × length of corpus bursae; at anterior 1 / 4 broad and curved. Corpus bursae piriform, posterior end weakly sclerotized; signum spatulate.</p><p>Distribution.</p><p>Japan (Hachijohjima Is., Nakodojima Is., Ototojima Is., Anijima Is., Chichijima Is., Hahajima Is., Mukohjima Is., Hirajima Is., Minami-iwoto Is.).</p><p>Biology.</p><p>Few adults emerged from Ganoderma orbiforme (Fr.) Ryvarden ( Polyporales: Ganodermataceae), white fungi (Polypoaceae), litter, wood bark, and an ear of Gahnia aspera (R. Br.) Spreng ( Poales: Cyperaceae). Adults were collected in June, July, September, and November from the Ogasawara Islands and in October from the Izu Islands.</p><p>Etymology.</p><p>The name of the new species is derived from the Latin flavus (yellow) + macula (spots), referring to the forewing pattern consisting of many yellow spots.</p><p>DNA analyses.</p><p>The intraspecific pairwise distances of this species were 0.03 % – 4.41 % (n = 16) (Suppl. material 2). The intraspecific genetic structure was analyzed using 16 samples, and a haplotype network was constructed (Fig. 51). All the samples had unique haplotypes.</p><p>Remarks.</p><p>This species is endemic to the Izu-Ogasawara Islands. In a few female specimens, the yellow spots become extremely wide, and the forewings almost become yellow (Fig. 15). Many specimens were obtained by beating dead leaves of Livistona chinensis var. boninensis and Pandanus boninensis during the day.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/2D5D97526D3E505DBA6944DFDA45D670	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

The male genitalia are similar to those of E. chasmatias (Meyrick, 1880), but can be distinguished by the phallus: the phallus with a cluster of ~ 15 distinct cornuti (phallus with large curved cornuti in E. chasmatias). The female genitalia are similar to those of E. trigonosema (Turner, 1923) but can be distinguished by the following characteristics: the ovipositor is relatively short, 2 × the length of segment VIII, and basal 1 / 5 of the ductus bursae is sclerotized (the ovipositor is relatively long, 4 × the length of segment VIII, and the ductus bursae is completely sclerotized in E. trigonosema).</p><p>Additional description.</p><p>Measurements. Forewing length 6.5–8.2 mm (n = 5), antenna length 6.2–7.6 (n = 4) in male, forewing length 8.0–9.7 (n = 5), antenna length 7.1–7.7 (n = 3) in female. For more morphological information, see Moriuti and Kadohara (1994) and Yoshimatsu and Makihara (1995).</p><p>Distribution.</p><p>Japan (Chichijima Is., Hahajima Is., Iwoto Is.).</p><p>Biology.</p><p>The larvae feed on dead branches of Cinnamomum japonicum Siebold ( Lauraceae) (Yoshimatsu and Makihara 1995). Adults have been collected almost every month, except for February, August, October, and December, on the Ogasawara Islands (Moriuti and Kadohara 1994).</p><p>DNA analyses.</p><p>The DNA barcode of a single specimen collected from Hahajima Island was completely matched to unidentified Arthropoda from British Indian Ocean Territory (Sequence ID: BIOT 386-24). The intraspecific pairwise distance of this species among Ogasawara Island populations was 0.00 % – 1.86 % (n = 12) (Suppl. material 2). The haplotype network was calculated and eight haplotypes were identified in 15 samples from Ogasawara Islands and Indo Ocean (Fig. 51).</p><p>Remarks.</p><p>Most specimens were collected using a light trap. Rarely seen during the daytime. This species is considered endemic to the Ogasawara Islands, but, unexpectedly, it is currently collected only on inhabited islands. In addition, as the DNA barcode of this species was matched to an unknown Arthropoda from British Indian Ocean Territory, this species may also inhabit areas other than the Ogasawara Islands.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/45C2F15E3819551E9C9B953372A46E95	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

(only black spots in E. simulans and E. dissimulans). The male and female genitalia are also similar to those of E. simulans but they can be distinguished by the following characteristics: the valva is broad, oval, and slightly concave at the costal margin in the male genitalia (the valva is rounded, dagger-shaped, and bulged at the middle of the costal margin in E. simulans); the ostium is smaller and weakly concave; and the anterior 1 / 2 of the signum is sharp and curved in the female genitalia (curved but rounded in E. simulans).</p><p>Description.</p><p>Adults. Male. (Figs 7, 17) Forewing length 6.8 mm, antenna length 6.0 mm in holotype. Forewing length 6.7, 7.8 mm (n = 2), antenna length 5.0, 5.7 mm (n = 2) in paratypes. Head. Frons and vertex whitish cream. Labial palpus whitish cream, first palpomere covered with black scales; second palpomere with robust brush hairs, outer surface black, with a few black bristles. Antenna filiform, notch present at base; scape whitish cream; flagellum black, gradually whiter toward tip. Thorax. Anterior 3 / 4 of mesonotum whitish cream, posterior 1 / 4 black. Tegula whitish cream, basally black. Foreleg black to dark gray, outer surface of tibia and basal 1 / 2 of tarsus cream white. Midleg black to dark gray, each tarsomere with cream band at distal end. Hindleg fuscous gray, tibia bearing with long hairs, basal 1 / 3 and subapical aera of tarsus black. Forewing venation with Sc, R 1–3 and R 4 + 5, M 1 and M 2 + 3, CuA 1–2 and CuP, 1 A + 2 A present; R 1 from basal 3 / 7 of discal cell to apical 1 / 3 of costa; 1 A fused with 2 A from basal 2 / 5 of wing to end; chorda weak. Apex of forewing weakly upturned. Forewing ground color white, with black pattern; basal 1 / 6 black; middle of anterior 1 / 2 with a large irregularly U-shaped spot; apex with a rectangular black spot; middle of dorsum with a small wedge-shaped black spot; tornus with one black scale; cilia white, middle of marginal area with a gray spot. Hindwing venation with Sc + R 1, Rs, M 1 and M 2 + 3 CuA 1–2 and CuP, 1 A + 2 A present; 1 A + 2 A strongly angled; frenulum a single slender bristle. Hindwing and cilia fuscous cream. Abdomen. Covered with fuscous cream scales.</p><p>Female. (Figs 8, 18, 47) Forewing length 6.5–7.4 mm (n = 4), antenna length 5.4 mm (n = 1) in paratypes. Almost same as male except for antenna and forewing; notch absent in antenna; apex of forewing slightly upturned; chorda well-developed; forewing ground color black, with four white spots: basal 1 / 5, apical 1 / 3 of costa, tornus, and apex.</p><p>Male genitalia. (Fig. 31) Uncus thick, short, a pair of membranous lobes, apical corner with a few bristles. Tegumen strongly sclerotized, fused with vinculum, formed into broad ring.

(Fig. 39) Ovipositor 2.5 × length of segment VII, papillae analis with short bristles; apophysis anterioris thick, ~ 1 / 2 length of apophysis posterioris. Segment VIII long, posterior margin with ~ 15 bristles; tergum VIII with stout dorsal rami fusing with apophysis anterioris; ostium elongated piriform with dense small spines, located at anterior 1 / 2 of sternum VIII. Ductus bursae tubular, 1.4 × length of corpus bursae, anterior 1 / 6 broad, wrinkled and curved toward corpus bursae.

Adults have been collected in June, July, and September in Chichijima Island.</p><p>Etymology.</p><p>The name of this species is derived from the Latin mirabilis, because this species is the most marvelous Erechthias to occur in Japan.</p><p>DNA analyses.</p><p>The DNA barcodes of this species were most similar to Erechthias sp. ANIC 1 from Australia (ANICI 492-10) based on the identification engine of BOLD systems, and the similarity between them was 92.51 %. These DNA barcodes were also similar to Erechthias simulans from Moorea Island in the Society Islands (French Polynesia) (PMANL 5097-16), with similarity of 90.67 %. The intraspecific pairwise distance of this species was 0.00 % (n = 3) (Suppl. material 2).</p><p>Remarks.</p><p>This species is endemic to the Chichijima Islands. The most similar species, E. simulans is widely spread in the tropical Pacific: Hawaii, Solomon Islands, Fiji, Samoa, Elice Islands, Midway, Society Islands, Marquesas Islands, and Australia (Clarke 1986).
