Additional material examined. JAPAN: NAGANO PREFECTURE: 1 ♂: ‘Simasima-val. Nagano-pref., Jap. July 10, 1966 Y. Watanabe leg.’ (cW) .

Distribution. The species is known from several localities in Honshu, Japan ( Fig. 50 View FIGURES 49–50 ).

Remarks. Geodromicus suensoni was originally described from Kamikochi, central Honshu. Geodromicus takabai Hayashi, 2018 was originally described from Ishikawa Prefecture, central Honshu. Based on the morphological features provided in the original description and the shape of the aedeagus ( Hayashi 2018: fig. 3), G. takabai is conspecific with G. suensoni , with which it is synonymized here. Aedeagus as in Figs. 47–48 View FIGURES 41–48 .
