NOTES. Four species of
Condylostylus
are known from
Japan
, of which two species have yellow mid and hind coxae, i.e.,
C. nebulosus
(
type
locality in
Japan
) and
C. luteicoxa
Parent, 1929 (
type
locality in
India
). Bickel (1994) placed
C. vigilans
Becker, 1922
(described from
Taiwan
and
India
) in synonymy to
C. nebulosus
.
The two latter species were not re-described, but
C. nebulosus
was included in the keys (Bickel, 1994; Yang
et al
., 2011)
with such character as “Mid tarsus [of male] without pale crocheted setae” to distinguish it from
C. luteicoxa
. However,
C. nebulosus
was originally described without male secondary sexual characters (Matsumura, 1916), and male mid tarsus of
C. vigilans
was not described by Becker (1922). Males examined from Kunashir have the same rows of crocheted setae on mid tibia and tarsus as those described by Parent (1929) and others for
C. luteicoxa
, but the colour of the curved setae are black rather than pale. In addition,
C. luteicoxa
was described with reddish-brown antenna, while
C. nebulosus
material from
Japan
and Kunashir have entirely black antenna. We refer the Kurilian males and females to
C. nebulosus
.
The records of this species outside
Japan
and Kunashir must be revised.
