description: Tribe Pamphiliini Cameron, 1890
The representatives of this tribe are characterized as follows (Shinohara 2002b): head with lateral sutures subparallel and connected with antennal furrows (Fig. 1: 1aa); tarsal claws short (e.g., Figs 35h, 46h, 58g, 87h); forewing with vein Scl present (Fig. 1: 1bb); abdominal sternum 7 in female rather simply subconically swollen posteriorly, without paired ridges and triangular marginal depression (fig. 4K–M in Shinohara 2002b; Onycholyda exceptionally has paired rounded ridges and a very flat (in ventral view) subtriangular marginal depression or weakly sclerotized posterior margin, fig. 4H–J in Shinohara 2002b); lancet with lamnium small (Fig. 1: 1cc).
The tribe Pamphiliini is regarded as monophyletic. The characters listed above, except for the presence of the vein Sc 1 in the forewing, are postulated as its autapomorphies. Our molecular analyses using COI and NaK genes also supported the monophyly of this tribe with UFBoot support of 100% (Figs 15, 16).
This tribe comprises five genera and 170 species in the recent world fauna (Taeger et al. 2010; Shinohara & Wei 2012, 2016; Shinohara et al. 2018c; present work). Here we treat three genera, Chrysolyda, Onycholyda and Pamphilius, containing 52 species as occurring in the Russian Far East and Korea. Of the three genera, Chrysolyda with only two world species and Onycholyda with 42 world species were considered monophyletic based on morphology (Shinohara 2002b). Our molecular analyses using the COI and NaK sequences also strongly supported the monophyly of Onycholyda with UFBoot support of 100% (Figs 15, 16). Molecular data for Chrysolyda and the two western Palaearctic genera, Kelidoptera Konow, 1897 and Pseudocephaleia Zirngiebl, 1937, were not available for the present study.
The monophyly or non-monophyly of Pamphilius and its relationship with Onycholyda should be clarified by further studies. Working on morphological characters, Shinohara (2002b) was not able to detect any autapomorphies for Pamphilius, and Onycholyda was retrieved as a sister group of all Pamphilius except for P. sylvarum and P. basilaris groups in his cladogram (fig. 11 in Shinohara 2002b; see Fig. 14 for an abbreviated version). In our NaK analysis, Pamphilius was recovered as monophyletic with UFBoot support of 99% and sister to Onycholyda (Fig. 16). In the COI analysis, Pamphilius was retrieved as paraphyletic and Onycholyda was a part of large assemblage of Pamphilius (supported by 97% UFBoot value) forming a sister group of P. japonicus (currently belonging to P. sylvaticus group) (Fig. 15). Therefore, the three available datasets, namely, morphology (Shinohara, 2002b, Fig. 14), COI genes (present work, Fig. 15) and NaK genes (present work, Fig. 16), supported three different hypothetical relationships.
