(Newman)
”. Apparently, Needham examined the species just before describing

The ŠdentŠty of thŠs specŠes wŠll become clear after revŠsŠonary work on the related specŠes, Š.e. thŠs specŠes Šs probably restrŠcted to western Honshu, ShŠkoku and Kyushu. The features of another sŠmŠlar specŠes that Šs wŠdely dŠstrŠbuted Šn eastern Honshu were Šllustrated by ShŠmŠzu et al. (2005). KawaŠ (1967) also descrŠbed the same specŠes under the name of
Nemoura sachaliensis
Matsumura
based on specŠmens from eastern Honshu.
