Type series. No types were designated in the original description ( Takakuwa 1934e), although Takakuwa (1934e, f) indicate that the descriptions were based on multiple specimens, including at least one male and one female. Takashima (1955) reported that 13 syntypes were preserved by Miyosi, but we found none of the 13 syntypes in the Miyosi Collection and assume they have been lost.

Type locality. Kozu, Odawara City, Kanagawa Prefecture, Honshu, Japan .

Japanese name. The name “Shimajimukade” was introduced by Takakuwa (1934e).

Remarks. Although the entry for this species in ChiloBase 2.0 (Bonato et al. 2016h) refers to both of Takakuwa (1934e) and Takakuwa (1934f) as the original publications for this species, the authorship of kozuensis is attributed to Takakuwa (1934f). This should be corrected to Takakuwa (1934e) in accordance with the actual precedence of the two works.
