Domene curtipennis Sharp, 1889: 261.

Comment.

The sole record of Domene curtipennis from China is that by Li (1992) from Liaoning. It is almost certainly based on a misidentification. Based on available evidence, the distribution of Domene curtipennis is restricted to Japan. All the examined material from the Russian Far East, South Korea and China belongs to Domene chenpengi , suggesting that Domene curtipennis does not occur in China.
