Seven taxa, S. antilope antilope ( Gravenhorst, 1829) , S. antilope sibirica Hinz, 1991 , S. facialis Hinz, 1991 , S. kasparyani Hinz, 1991 , S. nigritor Hinz, 1991 , S. sulcata (Thomson, 1894) , S. sulcatoides Hinz, 1991 , and S. townesi Hinz, 1991 , have been recorded from Japan. Hinz (1991) reviewed the Palearctic species of this genus, while five taxa, S. antilope sibirica , S. kasparyani , S. sulcata , S. sulcatoides , and S. townesi , were recorded from Japan without locality data (but the voucher specimens with data labels). In this study, I record these species, except for S. sulcata and S. sulcatoides , from several new localities in Japan.
