peltatus
Panzer, 1796
, the only two species in the subgenus recorded in
China
, but agree perfectly with Habu's description and illustrations, including male tarsi and genitalia of this species. It was described from and to date confined to Ishigaki Island, one of the southernmost island of
Japan
,
1,000 km
northeast of
Hong Kong
, where it was caught by light trap. Interestingly all specimens from
Hong Kong
are from Lantau Island and all caught by light trap. It would be interesting to find this species on the mainland or whether this is a true island species.
