Remarks.

This species is known from Europe ( Menzel and Heller 2006), and is recorded here from Japan for the first time. This species is similar to T. caudata and T. lengersdorfi , and the morphological differences among these species are summarized in a key to the Japanese species presented above. Heller et al. (2016) regarded T. edwardsi and some morphologically similar species as T. edwardsi species complex, and showed that DNA barcoding was helpful for classifying it. Among the specimens of T. edwardsi examined in this study, one male from Kagoshima was reared from larvae and pupae collected from rotten wood.
