Patania harutai (Inoue, 1955) was known to be the mixture of two species that use host plants from two different families, Styracaceae and Sapindaceae, but the type materials had not been examined until now. In this study, we confirm the identity of P. harutai based on the adult external characters of the holotype. As a result, we regard the Sapindaceae-feeding species to be true P. harutai, and describe the Styracaceae-feeding species as a novel species, P. crepuscularia sp. nov. Patania gorosoe Lee, Heo & Bae, 2022 syn.n. is treated as a junior synonym of P. harutai. In addition, we conducted a molecular phylogenetic analysis using 10 Japanese Patania species, and found that P. crepuscularia and P. harutai are not sister species although they are very similar in the adult external characters.
哈鲁泰氏长尾卷叶蛾（Inoue，1955）曾被认为是两种物种的混合种，它们使用来自两个不同科的寄主植物，安息香科和无患子科，但直到现在才对其模式材料进行了检查。在这项研究中，我们根据模式标本的成虫外部特征确定了哈鲁泰氏长尾卷叶蛾的身份。结果，我们认为食无患子科的物种是真正的哈鲁泰氏长尾卷叶蛾，并将食安息香科的物种描述为一个新种，即黄昏长尾卷叶蛾。2022 年，Lee、Heo 和 Bae 将戈罗斯欧氏长尾卷叶蛾 Patania gorosoe 作为哈鲁泰氏长尾卷叶蛾的同物异名处理。此外，我们对来自日本的 10 种长尾卷叶蛾属物种进行了分子系统发育分析，发现尽管黄昏长尾卷叶蛾和哈鲁泰氏长尾卷叶蛾在成虫外部特征上非常相似，但它们并不是姐妹种。
