has long been considered as a Pinaceae-feeding type of the yellow peach moth, , in Korea. In this study, the divergence of from the fruit-feeding moth was analyzed in terms of morphology, ecology, and genetics. differs from in several morphological features. Through field observation, we confirmed that pine trees are the host plants for the first generation of larvae, in contrast to fruit-feeding larvae. We successfully reared larvae to adults by providing them pine needles as a diet. From a genetic perspective, the sequences of mitochondrial of these two species substantially diverged by an average of 5.46%; moreover, phylogenetic analysis clearly assigned each species to an independent clade. On the other hand, nuclear showed a lower sequence divergence (2.10%) than . Overall, -based phylogenetic analysis confirmed each species as an independent clade, but a few haplotypes of indicated incomplete lineage sorting between these two species. In conclusion, our results demonstrate that is an independent species according to general taxonomic criteria; however, analysis of the sequence revealed a short divergence time.
长期以来，在韩国，[该物种名称]一直被认为是一种以松科植物为食的黄桃蛀螟类型。在本研究中，从形态学、生态学和遗传学方面分析了[该物种名称]与以果实为食的蛀螟的差异。[该物种名称]在几个形态特征上与[另一物种名称]不同。通过野外观察，我们证实松树是[该物种名称]第一代幼虫的寄主植物，这与以果实为食的[另一物种名称]幼虫不同。我们通过给[该物种名称]幼虫提供松针作为食物成功地将其饲养至成虫。从遗传学角度来看，这两个物种的线粒体[基因名称]序列平均有5.46%的显著差异；此外，系统发育分析明确地将每个物种归为一个独立的进化枝。另一方面，核[基因名称]显示出比[另一物种名称]更低的序列差异（2.10%）。总体而言，基于[基因名称]的系统发育分析证实每个物种为一个独立的进化枝，但[该物种名称]的一些单倍型表明这两个物种之间存在不完全的谱系分选。总之，我们的结果表明，根据一般分类标准，[该物种名称]是一个独立的物种；然而，对[基因名称]序列的分析揭示了较短的分化时间。
