DIAGNOSIS. This species can be easily separated from other congeners of

Deuteragenia vechti species-group by the propodeum rugulose posterolaterally in both sexes; the fore wing with a weak inner band, the clypeus with a very narrow apical rim and a rounded glabrous ridge and T1 petiolate in females; the hypopygium narrow and rod-shaped, compressed laterally and broadly flattened along midline ventrally in males (Shimizu & Ishikawa, 2002).

DISTRIBUTION. Japan (Hokkaido, Honshu, Kyushu) (Shimizu & Terayama,

2016), Russia (Primorskii krai) (new record).

REMARKS. This species belongs to the Deuteragenia vechti species-group representatives of which posses the clypeus with a distinct preapical ridge and strongly depressed apical rim in females and the S6 with a pair of large lateral hooks in males (Shimizu & Ishikawa, 2002).
