O. (Trichorius) atratus
- Hemelytron almost entirely pale brown, with cuneus sometimes narrowly darkened; flagellum simple, not branched....... 3
3. Pronotum wide, not much polished, densely setose, with wide collar area, narrow callus and angulate anterolateral corner; inhabiting a deciduous oak,
Quercus accutissima
in Honshu and Kyushu.
.....................
O. (Xylorius) miyamotoi
- Pronotum trapezoidal, highly polished, almost impunctate and sparsely setose, with narrower collar area, wide callus and rather rounded anterior corner; inhabiting a fabaceous vine,
Pueraria montana
on
Okinawa
Island of Ryukyus......

5. Body obviously tiny, with total length <
1.6 mm
(
♂

6. Head bicolorous, fuscous with yellow or yellow-brown clypeus; pronotum oily shiny, with noticeable anterior corner seta (

), and very sparsely distributed punctures and setae; pronotal callus widened and flattened; all legs uniformly yellow.............................................................................................
O. (H.) nagaii
- Head uniformly fuscous; pronotum weakly shining, with distinct punctures and semierect setae but lacking corner seta (
Fig. 5D

7. Metafemur entirely pale, or if metafemur darkened, then its apex and entire metatibia also fuscous; paramere with slender, stout conus and short flagellum (
Fig. 5F
); copulatory tube short, tiny (<
0.05 mm
), without apical segment........
O. (H.) sauteri
- Metafemur usually dark, always with pale apex; metatibia sometimes darkened except for base and apex; paramere with wide and disk-like conus and long flagellum (
Figs. 4D, O
