Yoshitomi leg. ( NMPC ) . Diagnosis. This species can be easily recognized based on the pronotum with sides nearly straight in both sexes ( Fig. 8F ), the relatively short elytra ( Fig. 4C ) which are together 1.8–1.9 times as long as wide, the relatively smooth elytral surface ( Fig. 10I ) with mostly large punctures, and a unique shape of the aedeagal median lobe which is distinctly broad basally, gradually narrowed medially, and then slightly widened subapically ( Sakai 1982 ). Sexual dimorphism. Females are slightly more robust and relatively shorter than males. For more information, see Sakai (1982) . Distribution. This species is endemic to Japan , being known across Honshu, Kyushu, and Shikoku Islands ( Fig. 15 ).
