Notes
This species is known only from the type locality of Mount Iwaki and has the smallest body size among all species previously regarded as N. reflexa. Nebria reflexa is distinguished from N. sagittata sp. nov. and N. niohozana, which are relatively closely distributed and thus may be sympatric, by a T-shaped apex of the dorsoapical lobe. The morphological features of the lectotype male (Fig. 2) are compatible with specimens examined here as N. reflexa with respect to all macromorphological features, body length (8.88 mm), and PPW/EL (0.343).
Description
Body length: ♂, 8.92–9.06 mm (mean ± SD: 9.00 ± 0.08 mm, n = 3); ♀, 9.19 mm (n = 1). PPW/EL: ♂, 0.339–0.356 (mean ± SD: 0.346 ± 0.009, n = 3); ♀, 0.312 (n = 1). Ventral surface of aedeagal apex not concave. Dorsomedian lobe largely swollen, directed right-laterally. Dorsoapical lobe with the basal part protruding right-dorsolaterally; the protrusion similar in size to the right laterobasal lobe; the apical portion directed right-ventrolaterally, bifurcated in a T shape. Right laterobasal lobe small, with the width from a ventral view narrower than the width of the gonopore protrusion from a lateral view. Left laterobasal lobe small, with the width from a ventral view narrower than the width of the gonopore protrusion from a lateral view. Right lateroapical lobe large, with the apex slightly protruding and bent anteriorly. Left lateroapical lobe bifurcated at the base, with one apex large and directed ventrally and the other similar in size to right laterobasal lobe and directed anteriorly. Ventrobasal surface almost flat, without swelling.
