" Pseudobium " yutakakimurai HAYASHI 1994

C o m m e n t: The original description of P. yutakakimurai is based on a single male from "Mt. Ohdai, Nara ", Japan ( HAYASHI 1994). As can be inferred from the photo of the habitus and on the drawings provided in the original description, this species clearly does not belong to Pseudobium . The description is very detailed, but unfortunately, important characters facilitating a correct generic placement (e.g., presence or absence of a submarginal line on the elytra; shape and chaetotaxy of the male sternites VII-IX and tergites VIII-X) are neither described nor illustrated. Therefore, this species should be considered as Lathrobiina incertae sedis until the holotype has been re-examined.
