discussion
Remarks. This species is a member of the P. vafer complex (Shinohara 2005) or the P. vafer subgroup of the P. vafer group (Shinohara 2002 b), which is a complex of birch- or alder-feeding species having much in common morphologically and genetically (see also comments under P. alnivorus). The larva of P. masao is a solitary leaf-roller. The egg is laid on the upperside and the larval leaf-roll is also on the upperside of the leaf (Type III of Shinohara 2005). This character is known otherwise only for P. confusus and P. flavipectus from Japan (Shinohara & Kojima 2006). Pamphilius masao is fairly common in montane birch forests in Hokkaido, Japan (2769 Japanese specimens recorded by National Museum of Nature and Science 2021), but only a few specimens were recorded from Sakhalin, Russia (Shinohara 2005).
