Type examined.

Lectotype of Endynomena lewisii Bates, designated herein (NHML): male, body length = 8.4 mm, board mounted, “345”; “Type” [round label with red circle]; "Japan. / G. Lewis. / 1910-320"; " Lewisii / Bates "; "LECTOTYPE ♂ / Endynomena lewisii / Bates, 1873 / des. SHI H. L. 2011" [red label][Fig. 62]. Paralectotype of Endynomena lewisii Bates, 1 female, "Japan. / G. Lewis. / 1910-320"; "Ex coll. Brit. Mus."; “Co-type” [round label with green circle]; " Endynomena / Lewisi / Bates "; "H. E. Andrewes Coll. / B. M. 1945-97"; "PARALECTOTYPE ♀ / Endynomena lewisii / Bates, 1873 / det. SHI H. L. 2011" [red label]. Holotype of Orionella obenbergeri Jedlička, by original designation (NMPC): male, body length = 8.6 mm, board mounted, " Mt. Minoo / (OSAKA) "; " 26-X-1944 / leg. S. Uéno "; “TYPUS” [red label]; " Orionella n. g. / Obenbergeri / sp. n. / det. ING. JEDLIČKA” [pink label][Fig. 63].

Notes on types.

Endynomena lewisii Bates: Bates (1873) indicated that this species was described from several specimens from Japan collected by Lewis. In the collection of NHML, we found two specimens bearing Bates’ determination label. These are certainly syntypes and have been labeled as type and cotype by a later worker. There are two other specimens also collected by Lewis from Japan, but from different localities and without Bates’ determination labels. It is better to exclude these two specimens from the type series. We herein designate the male with “type” label in NHML as lectotype ( Fig. 62 View Figures 61–66 ) for the purpose of fixing the name to unique name-bearing type.

Orionella obenbergeri Jedlička: The original literature clearly indicated this species was described based on single specimen cited as “type”. So the male in NMPC, the collection of Jedlička, is the holotype ( Fig. 63 View Figures 61–66 ).

Non-type material examined

(Total 14 specimens). Japan: 1 female (NHML), “Kawachi”; "Japan. /G. Lewis. / 1910-320". 1 female (NHML), “Hiogo”; "Japan. /G. Lewis. / 1910-320". 1 male, 2 females (OMNH), "NARA-PREF., Tomio, 1989.VII.18, leg. O. Tominaga"[Fig. 27]. 1 male (OMNH), "OSAKA-PREF, Toyono, 1980.VIII.9, leg. G. Nakata". China:3 males (IZAS), "Zikawei, 1924-3-17". 1 male (IZAS), "ZHEJIANG, W. Tianmushan, Houshanmen, 500m, 1998.VII.25, Wu Hong leg."[Fig. 91]. 1 female (IZAS), "ZHEJIANG, W. Tianmushan, Xianrending, 1500m, 1998.VII.29, Wu Hong leg."[Fig. 139]. 1 female (IZAS), "ZHEJIANG, Tianmushan, 350m, 1999.6.5, Gao Mingyuan leg.". 1 female (SNUM), "ZHEJIANG, Lin’an, W. Tianmushan, 2008.VI. Huang Hao leg."[Fig. 124]. 1 female (IZAS), "SICHUAN, Emeishan, 710m, 1979.VI.20, Gao Ping leg.".

Diagnosis.

This species can be distinguished from other species of Orionella by: elytra unicolored, brown to dark brown; pronotum with lateral margins straight or slightly sinuate before hind angles; hind angles not distinct, almost completely rounded. This species may be also confused with Endynomena pradieri (Fairmaire). The differences are presented in the diagnosis characters of these two genera.

Description.

Male genitalia with median lobe of aedeagus tubular, not laterally compressed, slightly bent; slightly bent to right side in dorsal view; apical lamella small, placed on right side of apex, strongly bent backward, not exceeding apical orifice. Internal sac with main flagellum slightly thick, sinuous, curved to right side, abruptly terminated before apical orifice; trumpet-form expansion indistinct, very small and narrow; secondary flagellum weakly sclerotized, half length of median lobe; internal sac with an elongate area strongly and coarsely scaled near base, subparallel to main flagellum, half length of median lobe ( Fig. 91 View Figure 91 ). Female genitalia. Spermatheca straight, slightly claviform, moderately long; apical three-fifths slightly widened, apical two-fifths with distinct ring-sculpture, basal part with finer and indistinct ring-sculpture; spermathecal gland inserted at basal one-fourth of spermatheca, not branched, fine and long, much longer than spermatheca, apical part strongly expanded ( Fig. 139 View Figures 138–157 ). Apical segment of ovipositor straight, not curved outward; length four times basal width; inner margin setose in apical two-thirds, outer margin setose in apical half; gradually narrowed to apex, apex slightly sharp, with membranous extension short, not narrowed ( Fig. 124 View Figures 111–125 ).

Detailed description of external characters has been provided by Habu (1967, 1979b).

Distribution

( Map 8 View Map 8 ). Japan, Korea, China (Zhejiang, Sichuan).

Notes on synonym.

Habu (1979b) synonymized Orionella obenbergeri Jedlička with Orionella lewisii (Bates). We examined types of both species, and confirmed the synonymy.
