Sejanus amami Yasunaga

Sejanus amami Yasunaga, 2001: 124 , figs. 4, 10 (n. sp., descr., disc., DV, MG).

DIAGNOSIS: Recognized by primarily dark brown coloration with a thin white band on cuneus along cuneal fracture, completely golden antennal segment 1, and goldenbrown coloration of basal M of segment 2.

DESCRIPTION: See Yasunaga (2001).

HOSTS: Unknown.

DISTRIBUTION: Japan (Amami-Oshima Is.).

DISCUSSION: We were unable to examine specimens of this species, but based on the original description, habitus images of the male, and the illustrations provided by Yasunaga (2001), it is without doubt a member of Sejanus . Characters allowing this conclusion are the small size, a small, Cshaped endosoma with a weakly sclerotized secondary gonopore, primarily dark brown coloration with the anterior of the cuneus with a thin white band along the margin with the cuneal fracture, the absence of maculation on the metatibia, and the short, flat metafemur.

HOLOTYPE: JAPAN: Ryukyus : Amami- Oshima Is., Chinaze, Naze. 10. v. 1987, T. Yasunaga 18 ( HUES) [not examined].
