Treatment

Specimen examined. Nikko city: 1 ˂, Shôbugahama, Chûgûshi, 26. VI. 2019, S. Maehara ( NSMT; cited by Shinohara et al., 2024) .

Remarks. This species occurs widely from Europe to Japan, but, in Honshu, it is uncommon with the known habitat limited to the highlands of Tochigi, Gunma, Yamanashi and Nagano prefectures ( Shinohara and Kameda, 2019; Shinohara et al., 2024). A closely related and more common species, X. eborata , was previously treated as a synonym of X. camelus (e.g., Takeuchi, 1936; Taeger et al., 2010). It is likely that most of the collection records for l X. camelus z in Tochigi prefecture, such as those in Nakamura (2003) and in the references therein, actually referred to X. eborata . Those previous records should be reconfirmed by examining the specimens recorded. Known host plants of X. camelus are Cerasus , Acer , Alnus , Betula , Ulmus , Quercus , Ostrya and Populus (Shinohara et al., 2024) .
