Comments. This Japanese species was mentioned from China without any precise data by Zeng (1989). We were not able to study the respective material, but we consider the presence of the species in China rather improbable. We believe that Zeng probably studied Copelatus chinensis from central-eastern China (see under that species). Therefore, we remove C. takakurai Chinese fauna.
