. All these beetles share similar body form, conspicuous modifications of the head in males (a transverse glandular groove or impression that dorsally demarcates a slightly bulging median frontal region), distinctly tetramerous antennal clubs, and aedeagal structures. There are differences between samples from different islands of the Ryukyus that I have examined, including the shape of the male cephalic glandular structure and the aedeagus. However, there also seems to be some variability within populations inhabiting large islands. The taxonomic situation is complicated by several factors: (1) the aedeagus in this group, similarly as that in the
