Material examined. One male and four females ( SNUE), Yongdae Recreational Forest , Inje-gun, Gangwon-do, South Korea (38°14'33.0"N, 128°20'11.3"E; Fig. 1 View FIGURE 1 ), dry pinned. Collected during July 24 to August 23, 2023, by Woo Jun Bang, Sangjin Han, and Jonghwan Choi using Malaise trap GoogleMaps . One male ( SNUE), Odaesan Mountain , Pyeongchang-gun, Gangwon-do, South Korea (37°47'24.0"N, 128°33'52.7"E; Fig. 1 View FIGURE 1 ). Collected during July 12 to August 4, 2022, by Woo Jun Bang, Sangjin Han, and Jonghwan Choi using Malaise trap GoogleMaps .

Comments. This species can easily be recognized based on its characteristic wing patterns ( Fig. 8a View FIGURE 8 ), long antennae in male being almost three times the body length ( Fig. 7a View FIGURE 7 ) and stripe-patterned mesonotum ( Fig. 9b View FIGURE 9 ). Matsumura (1915) mentions that this species has a yellow abdomen, but abdominal coloration is rather various between individuals and sexes ( Figs. 7a–b View FIGURE 7 ). Male terminalia of this species have been figured for the first time in the current study ( Figs. 8b–d View FIGURE 8 ). So far, this species was only known from Japan ( Matsumura 1915, Okada 1937, 1938a, 1939a, 1939b).
