Limnephilus borealis Zetterstedt: Kobayashi 1968, 5, Honshu (Niigata) (Limnophilus). Misidentification mentioned by Nozaki and Tanida (1996).
Remarks. Kadowaki (1998) recorded L. borealis from Shimane, central Honshu, and the identification was made by Mr. Kobayashi. However, it is probably a misidentification of N. nipponicus same as the record of L. borealis by Kobayashi (1968). Tsuda and Tatsumi (1951) recorded Limnephilus affinis from Niigata Prefecture, but the record may be based on a misidentification of this species.
