Gomphus unifasciatus
Oguma, 1926
, p. 92, 3, “Hokkaido (Nayoro, Komura)” (
syn
. nov.).
This species was originally described from three specimens (
1
♂
Nayoro, Hokkaido;
1 ♂
Komaba, Tokyo;
1 ♀
Kagoshima, Kyusyu), but at present there is the single specimen (
lectotype
) in the collection. This and the Komaba-specimen which I examined in 1935 are actually the same with
G. melampus
Selys (1869), hence
unifasciatus
Oguma should be suppressed as a synonym of it. I also ascertained in 1935 that the female of
unifasciatus
Oguma is an entirely different species, which is now treated as
Trigomphus
citimus tabei
