Pamphilius heecheonparki Shinohara, 1998 (Figs 77, 78) (https://doi.org/10.6084/m9.figshare.11405187) Pamphilius heecheonparki Shinohara, 1998: 229; Shinohara, 2002b: 429; Shinohara, 2004: 264; Shinohara & Lelej, 2007: 939, 941; Sundukov, 2009: 213; Taeger et al., 2010: 86; Sundukov & Lelej, 2012: 109; Sundukov, 2017: 104; Lee et al., 2019: 9. Material examined. About 685 specimens, including the type series, almost all from the Russian Far East and South Korea (Shinohara 1998; National Museum of Nature and Science 2021; present work). New collection data: SOUTH KOREA: Gangwon-do: 4♀ 7♂ (incl. 30771–30775), Mirugam (Bukdaesa), 1300m, Odaesan Mts., 25. V.–1. VI. 2008, A. Shinohara (NSMT); 5♀ 86♂ (incl. NSMT 30855), same locality, 27. V.–5. VI. 2009, A. Shinohara (NSMT); 4♀ 38♂, same locality, 11–18. VI. 2010, A. Shinohara (NSMT). Distribution. Russia (Irkutskaya oblast, Yakutia, Khabarovskij Kraj, Primorskij Kraj), North and South Korea (Shinohara 1998). Host plant. Unknown. Many of the specimens from Odaesan Mts., South Korea, were swept from the foliage of Padus sp. (Rosaceae), which may possibly be a host plant of this species. Remarks. This species is well characterized by the large elongate glabrous ovipositor sheath appendage (Fig. 77h) in the female and the anchor-like penis valve (Fig. 11: 61a) in the male. Shinohara (1998) included this species in his P. albopictus subgroup of the P. vafer group but later he (2002b) proposed the P. heecheonparki subgroup for this species alone. In our molecular analysis, the six available COI sequences of this species from South Korea were identical and the maximum intraspecific p -distance among the six NaK sequences was 0.2%. The nearest neighbour was P. kamikochensis (a member of the P. albopictus subgroup), diverging by a minimum of 3.2% in the COI analysis and P. masao (members of the P. vafer subgroup) by a minimum of 0.5% in the NaK analysis. In the COI tree (Fig. 148), P. heecheonparki was retrieved as the sister group of P. albopictus + P. kamikochensis ...
