9BF5153383B955A0B22FC433DEAE64E8.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Head capsule oval in lateral view. Supra-antennal carina complete, rounded, depressed medially. Frontoclypeal region narrowed medially. Mouth-parts inferior. Antennae serrate from antennomere IV, without median longitudinal carina; antennomere IV longer than II-III combined in many, shorter than II-III combined in a few. Pronotum with median basal furrow, without sublateral incision near hind angles; hind angles unicarinate. Pronotosternal sutures not grooved or very shallowly grooved in front. Posterior edge of hypomeron straight mesally and then broadly rounded. Procoxal cavity partly closed behind by mesal projection of hypomeron. Prosternal process concave between procoxae, with subapical tooth in lateral view. Side of scutellum parallel on anterior half. Mesocoxal cavity open to mesepimeron and mesepisternum. Mesosternum separated by suture from metasternum. Outer edge of metacoxal plates wide in most, but narrowed in a few. Elytral surface with rasp-like punctures; elytral apical edge serrate and with small spines, serration very slight in some and then almost rounded. Tarsi simple; claws simple, without basal setae. Ohira (1970 a, 1995 a) stated that the apical elytral edge is more or less truncate; however, this is based on a misunderstanding.	en	Arimoto, Koichi, Arimoto, Hisayuki (2020): The genus Nipponodrasterius Kishii (Coleoptera, Elateridae, Agrypninae), a junior synonym of the genus Gamepenthes Fleutiaux (Coleoptera, Elateridae, Elaterinae), with review of the Japanese Gamepenthes species.

A28BC8D04419540FAA7BA094F6006F21.taxon	distribution	Distribution. Japan: Hokkaido, Honshu, Shikoku, Kyushu. Russia: Kunashir Island. This species was also recorded from China and Oriental region (Cate 2007). Schimmel (2003, 2004, 2006) and Schimmel and Tarnawski (2009) recognized 18 species from China and Indochina: however, G. versipellis had not been confirmed from the area. Therefore, the records of G. versipellis from China and the Oriental region were probably based on misidentifications of allied species, such as G. hubeiensis Schimmel, 2003, G. holzschuhi Schimmel, 2003, G. kresli Schimmel & Tawnawski, 2009, G. sausai Schimmel, 2003 and G. sichuanensis Schimmel, 2003.	en	Arimoto, Koichi, Arimoto, Hisayuki (2020): The genus Nipponodrasterius Kishii (Coleoptera, Elateridae, Agrypninae), a junior synonym of the genus Gamepenthes Fleutiaux (Coleoptera, Elateridae, Elaterinae), with review of the Japanese Gamepenthes species.
