The genus Apodin Heinemann, 1870 was describe das monotypic and is known to have a
broad distribut ievoern the western part of the Palaearcti cregion. The genus ,however h,as
been insuMcientl yrevised and has never been found in east Asia so far , From Hokkaid6

we examined it in detai land identifi eidt as Apodin btfi,acte d(eDuponch elWe). record '

Genus Apadia Heinemann

Apodia Heinemann, 1870, Schmett Dtl Schweiz (2 )2 (1 )2:86. Type species: Lita bij7'act eDhuaponchel,
[1843 ]1842 ,by monotypy.
Remarks. This described by Heinemann (1870),
genus was as monotypic since when some
species have been added by some other authors, Ptrey (191 1C)h,eretie n(190 8a)nd so on.
But the genus has not been suMciently revised includin gthe subsequently added species,
Heinemann (1870 d)iagnosed the genus mainly based on the shape oflabial palpus and wing
venation, but at present we can easily distinguis hthe genus by the unique genital ioaf the
male, Although the shape ofthe male genital iiandicate tshe close relationship te the genus
Metznen'a ,Apocha is clearly discriminat efdrom the 1atte bry the male and female genitalia.
In the male genitali ath,e slightly lobed uncus, the sickle-shaped valva and the oval sacculus
are broadly similar to those of lsophn'et ainsd some members of Metzneria ,whereas the 1argely
swelling saccus and the long cylindrical aedeagus witheut cernuti are well discernible
characters from the latte trwo genera. In the female genitalia t,he extremely small ovipositor
and absence of signum are good characters to diserimina ttehe genus from the latte trwo.

Biology. In Europe, eggs are prebably laid on seeds in lat esummer. Larvae grow and
oyerwinter on seeds from autumn to the next spring. They pupate in late spring or in early
summer, and then emerge in mid summer. Adults are found en the fiower softhe hostplant
in the evening.
