Ito, 1954 mainly based on the shape of the seminal receptacle and the elongated dorsal caudal setae. They noted, however, that the dorsal caudal setae are not as elongated as in Japanese populations and also that the caudal rami have somewhat different proportions. Their taxonomic decision possibly reflects the fact that various previous records of this species indicated a wide range in Japan, as well as some variability in the proportions and armature of the caudal rami (
