(Figs 13–15, 35–37)

Priocnemis (Priocnemis) ishikawai Lelej in Lelej & Yamane, 1992: 100 (key and description), ♀ ♂. Holotype, ♀, Japan, Kyushu [ SKYC].

Priocnemis (Priocnemis) ishikawai: Shimizu 1996: 508 ; Lelej et al. 2015: 429; Shimizu & Terayama 2016: 215, 597, pl. 47,1, ♀ ♂.

Diagnosis. Male. Body length 4.5–7.0 mm. Paramere with two outer stout spines (lateral view) ( Figs 35, 36 ). Hypopygium as in Figs 15, 37. Female. Body length 6.0–10.0 mm. Fore wing with hyaline basal half, and distinct subapical milky white spot. Propodeum posteriorly with fine, but distinct transverse striae. Fore wing cu-a postfurcal 1.5 × its length. Metasoma completely black.

Material examined. Type material. Holotype, ♀, Japan: " Kyusui-kei (600 m alt.), Kokonoe-machi , Kyushu , 6.VIII.1991 (A. Lelej)" [ SKYC] . Paratype, ♂, Japan: " Handa-kôgen (900 m alt.), Mts. Kujû, Kyushu , 6.VIII.1991 (A. Lelej)" [ SKYC] . Other material. Japan, Honshu: 1 ♀, Tokyo, Imperial Palace , Hukiage Gyoen , 12– 26.VII.1996 (K. Konishi) ; 1 ♂, Tokyo, Chiyodaku, Kokyo , 30.IX.1997 (A. Shimizu) [ CEATB] .
