Immature stages.

Unknown.

Discussion.

Haliplus angustifrons is widely distributed from south Asia to southeast Asia ( van Vondel 1993; Sheth et al. 2016), but there are no records in east Asia. The pattern of dorsal marks, the shape of the prosternal process, and male genitalia are in agreement with the redescription of H. angustifrons ( van Vondel 1993). The figures of " H. kotoshonis " given by van Vondel (1991, 1993) are not of true H. kotoshonis , and at least the records of Japanese specimens correspond to H. angustifrons .

Distribution.

Japan (new records): Nansei shoto (Tokuno-shima, Okinawa-jima, Iheya-jima, Kume-jima, Ishigaki-jima, Iriomote-jima); Pakistan, India, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Myanmar, Laos, Vietnam.
