Diagnosis. Adota magnipennis can be recognized by the distinct shape of male tergum 8 (Fig. 36, K: Yosii & Sawada 1976), the presence of few bifurcate microsetae at the apex of male sternum 8 (Fig.36, M) and by the distinct shape of the aedeagus and spermatheca (Figs. 36, N­R).

Adota magnipennis can be distinguished from the Nearctic species of Adota by the concave and slightly crenulate posterior margin of the male tergum 8 and different shape of the aedeagus and spermatheca.

Distribution. Adota magnipennis is known from Japan (Honshu and Kyushu).
