L. macrobipunctata was previously described by Choe (1986) in his Ph.D. thesis, but it was not published. Hossain et al. (2019) validated this taxon by providing a description and illustration adopting the same species name. Comparison of the original description and illustrations of L. macrobipunctata Hossain et al., 2019 (Choe, 1986 nom. nud. & Hossain et al., 2019) and the specimens of the Choe���s collection at CNU with the descriptions and illustrations of L. ishiharai Dworakowska, 1972 (Dworakowska, 1972) indicates that these two taxa are synonyms. Based on our examinations, this species vary intraspecifically in spotted patterns of forewings (Figs 24-31) and male aedeagus apex (Figs 32���35). Pygofer lobe of the species do not vary (Fig 36).

Tissue-specific transcription is critical for normal development, and abnormalities causing undesirable gene expression may lead to diseases such as cancer. Such highly organized transcription is controlled by enhancers with specific DNA sequences recognized by transcription factors. Enhancers are associated with chromatin modifications that are distinct epigenetic features in a tissue-specific manner. Recently, super-enhancers comprising enhancer clusters co-occupied by lineage-specific factors have been identified in diverse cell types such as adipocytes, hair follicle stem cells, and mammary epithelial cells. In addition, noncoding RNAs, named eRNAs, are synthesized at super-enhancer regions before their target genes are transcribed. Many functional studies revealed that super-enhancers and eRNAs are essential for the regulation of tissue-specific gene expression. In this review, we summarize recent findings concerning enhancer function in tissue-specific gene regulation and cancer development.
