Teliphasa sakishimensis Inoue & Yamanaka, 1975

Teliphasa sakishimensis Inoue & Yamanaka, 1975: 100. Type Locality: Japan (Mt. Banna).

Distribution.

China (Hubei, Sichuan, Taiwan), Japan.

Remarks.

Inoue and Yamanaka (1975) described this species from Taiwan in detail. Song and He (1977) reported this species occuring in Hubei and Sichuan provinces from Chinese Mainland. We are unable to check this species in our study, but Teliphasa sakishimensis can be easily separated by having a clear thorn-like projection from the juxta (Inoue and Yamanaka, 1975).
