Abstract

In this study, the genus Sorolopha Lower, 1901 in Japan was reviewed with five species including three that are described herein as new: S. sugiurai Sakagami, sp. nov., S. viridis Sakagami, sp. nov., and S. baribaris Sakagami, sp. nov. Adults of S. sugiurai and S. baribaris emerged from leaf shelters of Actinodaphne acuminata (Lauraceae). Larvae of S. viridis feed on young leaves of Illicium anisatum (Schisandraceae). S. viridis is known from Honshu and Yakushima Island, S. baribaris from Honshu and Kyushu, and S. sugiurai only from Honshu (Wakayama Prefecture). Diagnoses, biological information, and images of the adults, and male and female genitalia are provided.
