Among the Japanese species of Strigiphilus , this species is easily identified by (1) a short preconal area of the head with anterior margin slightly concave ( Figs 2, 5 ), (2) sexually dimorphic antennae ( Figs 2, 5 ), (3) the shape of dorsal anterior plates ( Figs 3, 6 ), and (4) the morphology of the male genitalia ( Fig. 4 ). Material examined. Type specimens. Ex Strix uralensis hondoensis : Syntypes of Strigiphilus fukuro : 1♂ (slide-mounted), Fukuro [= Strix uralensis hondoensis , in Katakana ], Nagano Prefecture [in Kanji], Japan , 24 Dec. 1916 ( ELKU ); 2♂ , 5♀ , 9N (preserved in alcohol) same data ( ELKU ). Slide-mounted syntypes are labeled as “(1) Syntype / Strigiphilus fukuro / Uchida, 1948 / det. Shimada & Yoshi, 2020; (2) Nagano Pref. / ( 24. xii. 1916 )/ ex Strix uralensis ” ( ELKU ); 1♀ (slide-mounted #010693510) (1) “ Strigiphilus fukuro Uchida, 1948 / T . Clay det./ PARA- TYPE ” [no holotype designation was made in the original description by Uchida (1948) , therefore this specimen is actually a syntype ].
