Remarks. The larva of this species was briefly described by Iwata (1927a) as follows (translated from Japanese): “The larva has a dark head with many small light areas, anterolaterally extended pronotum, long tibia of hind leg with two dark band-like areas, 3-branched gills on dorsum of abdominal segment I and ventral, dorsal and lateral rows on segments II–VIII, and flat case of two leaf pieces.” Iwata (1927a) had examined Kawamura’s (1918) Phryganea sp. specimens and included Kawamura’s (1918) figure (fig. 400) which was described from Kizaki-ko, Nagano, Honshu, Japan. Iwata (1927a) also synomymized Kawamura’s (1918) Phryganea sp. The first author (Tomiko Ito) searched for the Iwata type specimen in the Iwata Collection at the Kyoto University Museum on March 8, 2011 and found a vial labeled “no. In 252 1-2, Kizakia kawamurai Iwata, Shinshu , Kizaki-ko, 18.VIII.1917, Iwata?” However, the enclosed larva and the case were not in accord with the Kawamura (1918) figure and Iwata (1927a) ’s description; the larva found in the vial had longitudinal, V-shaped dark areas on the head, round anterolateral corners of the pronotum, short hind tibiae and a flat case of sand grains. The specimen labeled as Kizakia kawamurai Iwata was not chosen by Masatoshi Iwata in the 1920’s but extracted from the Iwata Collection by Narita et al. (2001) in 1992–1994 probably based on the collecting locality and the date. Therefore, we conclude that Narita et al. (2001) incorrectly chose the specimen and labeled it Kizakia kawamurai . Throughout this work, we could not find any specimens that agree with the description by Kawamura (1918) and Iwata (1927a) in the Iwata Collection. We do not know of a separate Kawamura Collection and suspect it has been subsumed into the Iwata Collection. Thus, the type specimen studied by Kawamura (1918) and Iwata (1927a) has probably been lost.

However, the larva figured by Kawamura (1918, fig. 400) has a dark head with small light areas and dark bandlike areas on the basal and distal halves of the hind tibia, which are diagnostic characters for larvae of A. (A.) kawamurai as discussed below. Since larvae with the characteristic patterns were collected from many localities including the type locality, we have redescribed the larval stage of A. (A.) kawamurai based on them. The adults of A. (A.) kawamurai reared from the larvae that show characteristics described in the figure of Kawamura (1918) and the description of Iwata (1927a) are described here for the first time, although Inazu and Ishida (2011) showed photographs of females which were collected together with the larvae at the same site.

The male of this species is quite similar to that of A. (A.) pallidus ( Martynov 1935) , known from continental parts of the Russian Far East, in having roof-like plates of segment X; long oval preanal appendages; a thick, short phallus and slender branchless inferior appendages. However, A. (A.) kawamurai is clearly distinguished from the latter as follows: In A. (A.) kawamurai the median process of segment IX is thick in lateral view in the male ( Figs. 1 View FIGURE 1 C, F); the posterolateral apices of tergite IX are acute in the female ( Fig. 2 View FIGURE 2 C, arrow); and in the larva, the head is brown with light markings ( Figs. 3 View FIGURE 3 A–C) and the basal and distal halves of the hind tibiae have dark band-like areas ( Figs. 3 View FIGURE 3 I, J). In A. (A.) pallidus , on the other hand, the male median process of segment IX is slender in lateral view ( Fig. 6 View FIGURE 6 B); the female posterolateral ends of tergite IX are truncate ( Fig. 6 View FIGURE 6 I, arrow); and the larva has a pale brown head with small dark dots ( Figs. 6 View FIGURE 6 L, M) and dark band-like areas on the distal halves of hind tibiae are absent ( Fig. 6 View FIGURE 6 N).

Ganonema minutus Martynov 1930 , originally described from southeastern China and also recorded in Vietnam, Thailand and Myanmar ( Malicky 2010, Yang et al. 2005), is synonymized here with A. (A.) kawamurai based on examination of specimens, including the holotype of Ganonema minutus Martynov 1930 ( Fig. 5 View FIGURE 5 ; China, Hainan, June, 1904, deposited in British Museum of Natural History, London; illustrated by H. Malicky). The male genitalia of the holotype of G. m i n u t u s ( Fig. 5 View FIGURE 5 ) are almost identical to those of Japanese specimens of A. (A.) kawamurai in having a thick median process of segment IX; roof-like plates of segment X with acute apices; a thick short phallus and slender branchless inferior appendages in lateral view ( Fig. 1 View FIGURE 1 ). While roof-like plates of segment X in dorsal view are somewhat different between the holotype of G. m i n u t u s and other Japanese and Asian specimens, the plates are slightly variable within the species (compare Figs. 1 View FIGURE 1 D, E with Malicky 2010, p. 330, fig. 5A).

Several authors have described Anisocentropus View in CoL larvae under the name of A. immunis View in CoL or A. sp. in Japan. The larvae described by Maruyama and Takai (2000) and Nozaki (2005) under the name of A. sp. are certainly those of A. (A). kawamurai , because their head (dark with many light areas) and thoracic legs (with dark areas on distal and basal halves of hind tibiae) are distinctly coincided with diagnostic characters of this species discussed above.

However, identification is impossible at species taxonomic level in other references. The species name of the larva of so-called “ A. immunis View in CoL ” described from Honshu by Tsuda (1943) is unclear because (1) he collected the specimens from some ponds including Midoro-ga-ike, Kyoto, where A.(A.) pallidus lives (see the list of A. (A.) pallidus localities below), (2) his description of the head (“many small dark dots are present on the brown head”; translation from Japanese) suggests that it would be the larva of A.(A.) pallidus , but (3) his figures of the head (dark head with many light areas) and hind tibia (with somewhat indistinct dark areas on distal and basal halves) suggest it would be A.(A.) kawamurai . Therefore, we presume that Tsuda (1943) may have mixed the larval characters of the 2 species. The larvae of A. immunis View in CoL described by Tsuda (1959) and Tsuda and Akagi (1962) also could not be identified to species since they used the same figures firstly provided by Tsuda (1943).

Tanida (1985) and Tanida (2005) described the larva with the sane dorsal aspect of the anterior part of the larva (head, thorax and abdominal segment I), without thoracic legs, under the name of “ A. immunis View in CoL ” and “ A. sp.”, respectively. Specific identification of this larva is difficult due to the ambiguous color pattern of the head (the pattern of the frontoclypeal apotome is similar to that of A. (A). kawamurai but the patterns of other parts are like those of A. (A). pallidus ). The adult, pupa and larva of “ A. sp.” photographed by Tanida et al. (1991) also could not be identified to species because no diagnostic characters are shown.
