Material examined. RUSSIA: Kunashir Island, Stolbovsky hot springs, 44.0072°N, 145.6831°E, 29 July 2011, around warm springs and streams, 6♂, Bolotov, Kolosova & Potapov leg. GoogleMaps
Field observations. A rather rare species ( Table 2). A few egg-laying females were recorded in a warm stream of the Stolbovsky hot springs.
Distribution. Endemic to Japan ( Okuyama & Takahashi 2017), with a few isolated populations in hot spring sites on the Kunashir Island ( Paulson et al. 1998; Kotlyakov et al. 2009; this study).
Comments. Previously, it was thought to be a subspecies of Mnais pruinosa (Sélys, 1853) but recent molecular study revealed its validity as a separate species ( Hayashi et al. 2004). However, multiple hybridization and mtDNA introgression events were discovered between these species ( Hayashi et al. 2005). In the recent checklist of Russian Odonata ( Malikova & Kosterin 2019) , it is listed as the subspecies Mnais pruinosa costalis .
