discussion
Remarks. This is a member of the P. sylvaticus group defined by Shinohara (1985 a, 2002 b). Shinohara (1988 a) described this subspecies as a full species but Shinohara (2001) treated it as a subspecies of P. montanus Shinohara, 1985. In our molecular analysis, the maximum intrasubspecific p - distance among specimens from Korea and Hokkaido, Japan, was 1.5 % in COI (n = 4) and 0.2 % in NaK (n = 3). The minimum distance to the specimens of the nominotypical P. montanus montanus from Honshu, Japan, was 3.7 % in COI and 0.1 % in NaK. The nearest neighbour was P. volatilis, diverging by a minimum of 4.1 % in the COI analysis, and P. alnicola, diverging by a minimum of 0.6 % in the NaK analysis. In the COI tree (Fig. 145), each of P. montanus, P. m. montanus and P. m. pulcher was retrieved as monophyletic with UFBoot support of 100 % and P. montanus was sister to P. alnicola with UFBoot support of 82 %. In the NaK tree (Fig. 159), P. m. montanus (n = 2) was retrieved as monophyletic with UFBoot support of 100 %, but P. m. pulcher (n = 3) was not, while all the specimens of P. montanus (n = 5) formed a clade with UFBoot support of 93 % and the clade consisting of P. gracilis and P. graciloides was retrieved as sister to P. montanus with very low UFBoot support of 70 %. Pamphilius montanus pulcher is probably associated with Sorbus (Rosaceae) because the larvae of the nominotypical subspecies from Honshu, Japan, are gregarious web-spinners on Sorbus commixta Hedl. (Rosaceae) (Shinohara & Kojima 2011).
