Epanerchodus dichotomus Takakuwa, 1954: 101 View in CoL : fig. 111, 233.

Epanerchodus dichotomus View in CoL — Takakuwa & Takashima, 1944: 23, 25, 29; Paik, 1958: 362; Lim, 1988: 3, 28; 2001: 162, 168; Mikhaljova & Lim, 2001: 19, 22–23; Mikhaljova, 2004: 218.

Remarks. This species was originally described from Yuki, North Korea ( Verhoeff, 1937). It is a senior subjective synonym of Epanerchodus dichotomus Takakuwa, 1954 and Epanerchodus bifidus Takakuwa, 1954 ; their synonymy was revealed by Mikhaljova & Lim (2001). E. dichotomus was described from the very same locality Yuki, North Korea ( Takakuwa, 1954), E. bifidus was described from Mt. Aso, Kyushu, Japan and Pujeon- Koweon and Masan, Korea ( Takakuwa, 1954). This species is quite common in the Korean Peninsula. In Primorskiy kray, Far East of Russia, it is relatively rare. The species lives in forest litter and has been recorded in caves ( Murakami & Paik, 1968; Mikhaljova, 1997).

Distribution. Russia: Far East (southern part of Primorskiy kray), North and South Korea, southern Japan.
