Ctenopelma pineatus

(A–D: KPM-NK 84787, female; E: KPM-NK 84788, male) ― A: lateral habitus; B, E: head, frontal view; C: propodeum, dorso-lateral view; D: areolet.
Remarks.
This is the first record of this species from
Japan
. This species resembles
Ct. lucifer
but can be distinguished by the following combination of characters: area superomedia and area petiolaris of propodeum more or less confluent (separated by carina in
Ct. lucifer
); anterior portion of median longitudinal carina of propodeum obliterated (complete and strong in
Ct. lucifer
); face black, lower lateral portion with large white spots (entirely yellowish brown in
Ct. lucifer
); frons and vertex entirely black (with lateral yellowish brown spots in
Ct. lucifer
); hind coxa, trochanter, and femur entirely black (brown to dark brown in
Ct. lucifer
); T III red (T II to T IV red in
Ct. lucifer
) (
Sun
et al.
, 2019
).
A synonym of
Ct. lucifer
,
Ct. tokioense
Uchida, 1930
(
type
locality:
Tokyo
), shares with the character states of
Ct. lucifer
sensu
Sun
et al.
(2019)
. Thus both
Ct. lucifer
and
Ct. rufofasciatum
are distributed in
Japan
.
