Abstract Dencbophidn (Dendeophi althiidaef)ike (Snelle ni) snewly recorded from Hokkaido,
Japan. The adult and genitalia of the both sexes are illustrat aendd redescribed.

The genus Dendrophiha was proposed by Ponomarenko in 1993 on the basis of the type
species ?Vbthn lasthidle2Zti Snellen, 1884. Up to the present 2,2 species were assigned to the
genus by the previou sauthors (Ponomarenk 1o9,93 ,1997 ;Ueda et al., 1995 ;Park. 1995;
Park & Ponomarenko, 1996; Li & Zheng, i998; Lj,2oo2) fromRussia,Korea,Japan,China,

Taiwan, Jndonesia and India. Five Denthophilla species were recorded fragmentarily from
Japan (Moriu t1i9,82 ;Kanazawa et al,, 1984 ;Park, 1995 ;Ueda et al., 1995 ;Mano &
Harata, 1997; Ponomarenko, 1997). Kawahara (200 0)recorded DendeophiZi tsiaxigera

Biology . Host plant and immature stage are unknown. Kawahara (200 0n)oted that this
species was collected in a coastal aiea in Koshimizu Town, Hokkaido, Most of specimens
examined in this paper were collected near the seaside.
Remarks. D. (D. )athidbi?t iis separable from the other Japanese Dendrophtha species by the
creamy white color of the fbrewing .In the male genitali aD,. (D. )athidlado is allie dto D,
(n) neotaphronoma Ponomarenko, 1993, but those of D, (D) aloideha difle rfrom the latter
by the somewhat long gnathos and slightly sinuate valva. The shape ofvalva differ sslightly
from the figur eof Ponomarenko (1993 )bu,t this differen cmeay be the geographical or
individua lvariation, The female genitalia are characteristic in having the large signum. D.
(D. )athideZla is recorded frorn Japan for the firs ttime.
