Orectochilus nipponensis Zaitzev, 1910

Like in Orectochilus corniger, ZAITZEV (1910: 224) most probably described O. nipponensis on the basis of mislabelled specimens with the type locality ‘Kobe’ and collector Pliginski too, and as being similar to Orectochilus oblongiusculus Régimbart, 1886 (currently also in the genus Patrus ). The identity of the taxon is not clear (see also OCHS 1930: 70), and at least we are convinced that the taxon is not occurring in the Palaearctic Region, and thus it will not be included in the new edition of the Palaearctic Catalogue.
