Neotype The original type locality was "Tokyo" and Blakemore states his neotype came from Sendai (Sendai is a city in Japan’s Tohoku Region, northeast of Tokyo on Honshu island).Blakemore (2012) states that: "The exact Tokyo type-locality is not known; however, the authors worked from the First- High-School which was in Ueno (if they collected there) that later became integrated as the Komaba campus of The University of Tokyo (Todai). Searches found no further old or new material, neither in the collections (cf. Blakemore & Ueshima, 2011), in the grounds (Todai campus and Ueno Park) which surely will have changed greatly since 1899, nor in wider surveys around Tokyo. Kobayashi (1936a: 136) described two specimens from Morioka that were sent to him from the Saito Ho-on Kai collection (with the tacit agreement of S. Hatai) and another 204 samples from Korea. He thought this species was introduced to Japan from either China or Korea, or from both of them, although it might equally be endemic to both Japan and Korea (where it has garnered many synonyms) or to China. If it truly occurs in Taiwan, it might be an introduction." Unfortunately Blakemore does not clearly state the provenance of his proposed neotype, but it is registered as NSMT An435, and he comments on it as follows: " while it is not ideal that the current specimen was labelled as from “Sendai”, this probably has little bearing when this species distribution is known to extend from Hokkaido to Kyushu and Korea. Moreover, it is felt that the opportunity to designate a specimen that was most likely identified as the nominal taxon by its original author (Dr Hatai) is an overriding consideration within the spirit and brief of the ICZN Article 75 guidelines."
