The leaf-mining genus Antispila Hübner, 1825 feeding on vitaceae in shandong peninsula, China with one new species (Lepidoptera, Heliozelidae)

Abstract

The Antispila species feeding on Vitaceae from Shandong Peninsula, China are treated. Antispila kuny-uensis Liu, sp. n., feeding on Ampelopsis humulifolia, is described as new to science, and A. uenoi Kuroko, 1987, feeding on Vitis amurensis, is recorded as new for China. Vitis amurensis is documented as a new host plant for A. uenoi. The adult male and female, host plant and typical patterns of leaf-mines of both species are illustrated, as are male and female genitalia and venation. The venation and the paired tufts of scales on the 7th abdominal segment in male are illustrated for A. uenoi for the first time. DNA barcodes of both species are also provided, together with a neighbor-joining tree for facilitating species delimitation.
