Acalolepta seunghwani, a North-East Asian species occuring in Russian Far East, Korean peninsula and North China,
has been described from Mt. Myeongseong-san (Sudogwon region of South Korea) by Mikhail L. Danilevsky in 2013 [▽]. A. seunghwani replaces in
Korea and continental Russia its sister taxon Acalolepta luxuriosa (Bates, 1873), distributed in Japan, Sakhalin and Kuril Islands.
The species has probably similar biology to A. luxuriosa, in Korea was observed on Aralia elata [▽]. Only currently known Russian locality is Mount Litovka
and its environs in Primorsky krai.
