Notes
One new subspecies was described (
Beljaev 2007
).
Aoshakuna
was previously a junior synonym of
Chlorissa
Stephens, but was re-instated by
Beljaev (2007)
. In the same revision,
Beljaev (2007)
subsequently designated
Nipponogelasma
a junior synonym of
Aoshakuna.
As a result of this synonymy,
Nipponogelasma lucia
was transferred to
Aoshakuna
, creating the new combination
A. lucia
.
Beljaev (2007)
then synonymised this species with
A. sachalinensis
, the type species of
Aoshakuna
.
