Remarks.
We did not examine any specimens of this subspecies except photographs of the
holotype
and one female
paratype
. According to the original description by
Takakuwa & Hirokawa (1998)
, this subspecies is distinguishable from the nominotypical subspecies by the following features: body stout, especially in male, with rather flattened elytral disk, and densely clothed with orange-yellow pubescence throughout; dorsum of antennae with all the segments in male or basal five segments in female clothed with minute, fuscous pubescence; elytral black maculations evidently smaller and often indistinct or nearly obsolete. In addition, according to the photographs we studied, it appears that this subspecies has shorter antennae than the nominotypical subspecies. However, the coloration of pubescence or black maculae would not be important diagnostic characters because these features are quite variable even in the nominotypical subspecies. This subspecies is known only from areas above
1,400 m
altitude in Kyushu,
Japan
.
