Name
Eucorydia yasumatsui Asahina, 1971 – Wikispecies link – Pensoft Profile
- Eucorydia yasumatsui Asahina, 1971: 256 (♂ holotype, “Omotodake, Ishigaki Island”, 2♂♂ paratypes and 1 nymph, “Iriomoto Island”), figs 1–2, 9; Asahina 1991[1]: 55, fig. 35, Plate 3, fig. 10, holotype, one paratype and one nymph; Fujita and Machida 2014[2]: 193.
Material examined
None.
Diagnosis
Male: small, body length 10.0 mm, tegmen length 10.0-11.0 mm (Asahina 1971[3]); pronotum and tegmina unicolored, metallic blue, legs black, abdomen brownish black but with lateral margins yellow. Female is slightly larger than male, abdomen blackish brown, lateral margins yellow, or abdomen yellow, apex slightly brownish (see Fujita and Machida 2014[2]).
Remarks
To date, this is the only Eucorydia species recorded in Japan. However, Sakamaki and Tsuda (2006)[4] also recorded one unknown species from Uji Island. That species superficially resembles the purpuralis population of E. dasytoides but whether it is a new species is still undetermined.
Distribution
Japan: Ishigaki Island and Iriomoto Island.
