Remarks.
The genus Acerentulus has 47 species described in the world and most from Europe ( Szeptycki 2007; Shrubovych et al. 2012), and only five species ( Acerentulus kisonis Imdadaté, 1961, Acerentulus keikoae keikoae Imdadaté, 1988, Acerentulus keikoae capillatus Imdadaté, 1988, Acerentulus omoi Imdadaté, 1988 and Acerentulus sinensis Wu & Yin, 2007) were recorded in East Asia so far. Acerentulus kisonis Imdadaté, 1961 is new to RFE and very rare in the samples like in Japan ( Imdadaté 1988), which has single individual present in hundreds of specimens.
