Description

Tohlezkus rufus (M. Sakai)

(Figs 4, 34, 40)

Tohlezkus rufus (M. Sakai, 1980): 85 (as Subulistomella rufa).

Material studied. 1 ex., Japan, Nara Prefecture, Mt. Obakodake, near Nosegawa-mura, 1200 m, 25.03.2006, leg. P. Jałoszyński (cPJ); 2 exx., Japan, Ehime Prefecture, Saragamine, Toon-shi, 33°43'18.8"N 132°53'48.8"E, 100-year old deciduous mountain forest, 16.05.2018, leg. P. Jałoszyński (cPJ); 2 exx., Japan, Kyûshû, Saga-ken, Tara-chô, Mt. Hobashiradake, 600 m, FIT, 31.05– 08.06.2022, leg. M. Nishida (cRW); 1 ex., same data but 08–16.0.6.2022 (cRW); 1 ex., same data but 16– 23.06.2022 (cRW); 1 ex. same data but 23– 29.06.2022 (cRW).

Remarks. Adults of this species show a characteristically reddish hue, with the head and pronotum slightly lighter than elytra (Fig. 4). Tohlezkus rufus was originally described based on specimens collected on Shikoku (Ehime and Tokushima Prefectures), later recorded from Honshȗ (Aichi Prefecture) and Kyȗshȗ (Fukuoka, Miyazaki and Saga Prefectures) (Hirano 2000; Imasaka et al. 2016, 2018; Ôyama 2021; Nishida 2022), and here we provide the first record from Nara Prefecture (Honshȗ).
