(2021) is updated and given as Appendix 1.</p><p>The holotype of "  Pristepyris takasago " was unable to be discriminated morphologically from  E. minuta (including the holotype). Therefore, the former is herein synonymised under the latter.</p><p>In the present phylogenetic tree (Fig. 3),  E. minuta was subdivided into three (or four) lineages, i.e. Lineage  “X” from the Kanto area of Japan to Okinawa-Hontou;  “Y” from Ishigaki-jima to Taiwan and  “Z” from Taiwan. The lineages also showed differences in the shape of the lobate extension of the ventral valve of aedeagus (Lineage X as in Fig. 17C, D; Y as Fig. 17E, F; Z as Fig. 17G, H). However, there was no remarkable difference among them in external morphology and hypopygium (excluding weak variation in head sculpture as seen in Figs 14A, 15A, B, 16A) and also no differences in the 28S sequence (Table 2). As the lineages were parapatric or allopatric in the area of Taiwan and the Ryukyus, in the present study, the Lineage X, Y and Z are conspecific and treated as  E. minuta . However, it is also possible that further taxon sampling and integrative taxonomy may reveal several cryptic species within  E. minuta and determine one of them as "  E. takasago " (see also  “Discussion”).</p><p>Distribution and habitat.</p><p>Hokkaido to Ryukyus in Japan (Terayama 2006), northern South Korea (Lim et al. 2011), northern and central Taiwan; evergreen broadleaf forest.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/5A3C338E9BA75C1ABDE16E935BC7927C	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
