A new Symplocos trumpet leafminer, Coptotriche yanbarensis Kim & Yagi sp. nov., feeding on S. stellaris and S. okinawensis (Symplocaceae) is described from Okinawa Island, Japan. The new species is distinguishable from the Japanese Symplocos feeding described species, C. symplocosella Kobayashi & Hirowatari, 2016 by the forewing coloration, the shape of genitalia, and also DNA barcodes.
