Japyx Haliday, 1864

The description of a “ Japyx sp.” specimen from “California,” figured by Kellogg ( 1908), is too vague to be recognizable, according to Reddell ( 1983). A specimen labeled Japyx sp. was collected in Crystal Springs Park, San Mateo, 27 Oct. 21, W. Pierce ( LACM). The “ Japyx sp. nov. ” from Ventura County described by Cook ( 1898) is probably a mistaken locale, according to Reddell ( 1983). Japyx is currently understood to be limited to Europe and northern Africa ( Reddell 1983).
