Comment: The original description is based on "
two females
; taken in the plain of Fujisan" (
SHARP 1889
). Both
syntypes
were located in the collections of the BMNH and are in fact males.
One
of them is designated as the
lectotype
.
Preliminary
studies suggest that this species does not belong to
Lathrobium
, but to a probably undescribed genus of
Lathrobiina
, of which I have seen several other species from the
East Palaearctic region
.
They
will be dealt with in a separate study (ASSING in press).
