Remarks.
Although described from
Japan
(Okajima 2006), this species has been found widely in
China
(
Wang & Tong 2011
; Dang & Qiao 2014). According to the original description, this species has 2 sense cones on antennal segment III (Okajima 2006). However, Dang & Qiao (2014) indicated that this species has 3 sense cones on antennal segment III based on examination of two
paratypes
and
Taiwan
specimens. In this study, we also found that there are 3 sense cones on antennal segment III in the specimens collected from mainland
China
. However, on these specimens some characters are slightly different from the original description of
T. parvus
. For example, the eyes are slightly longer (approximately one-third of head length in original description), pronotal am variable in length but not longer than ocellar setae, which is similar to the diagram by Dang & Qiao (cf. Dang & Qiao 2014: fig 50) but almost invisible in original description.
