Abstract

Pleroneura itoi n. sp. is described from a female specimen collected on Mt. Wasamatayama, Nara prefecture, Honshu, Japan, and a key is given for the four species of Pleroneura from Japan. The new species is well characterized by the richly pale-marked head and the small and slender valvula 3.
