( Figs. 35A, B )

Sympherta antilope sibirica Hinz, 1991: 33 .

Description. See Hinz (1991).

Specimen examined. JAPAN: KPM-NK 84762 , F, Tochigi Pref., Kuroiso Town, Morura , 28. V. 2001, E. Katayama leg. ; KPM-NK 84763 , F, Tochigi Pref., Ohtawara City, Korobane-johshi , 5. V. 2010, E. Katayama leg. ; KPM-NK 84764 , F, Yamanashi Pref., Nirasaki City, Houougoya , 28–29. VII. 2012, T. Nakayama leg. RUSSIA: ZISP, F (holotype), Khabarovsk, 12. VI. 1983, Kasparyan leg.

Distribution. Japan (Honshu); Far East Russia.

Remarks. This is the first record of this subspecies from Honshu. This subspecies differs from S. antilope antilope by the blackish brown or black fore coxa (reddish brown to red in S. antilope antilope ), but this character state is not clearly separable, and their distributions are overlap. This subspecies may therefore be synonymous with Sympherta antilope antilope ( Gravenhorst, 1829) .
