Specimens examined. HONSHU: Hyogo Pref.: 1˂, Akasai , 4. VII. 1982, A. Watanabe. Okayama Pref.: 1 ˂, Kurami, Kamo-cho, Tomata-gun, 1. VII. 1989, A. Watanabe (recorded as Hyperxiphia leucopoda by Watanabe, 1992) .

Remarks. Watanabe (1992) recorded Hyperxiphia leucopoda from Okayama Prefecture based on a female specimen from Kurami listed above. I have examined the specimen and confirmed its identity with X. annulitibia . Konchu Bukai (2019) gave X. annulitibia in the faunal list of Okayama Prefecture, but I was not able to find any published collection data of this species from the prefecture.
