Abstract

The tyrine species Tyrodes segrex Kurbatov, 1990, known from Far East Russia, is newly discovered from Japan, and Tyrodes amamianus sp. nov. is described from Amami-ôshima Is., Japan. Also, we suggest that some characteristics may be useful for the diagnosis of the genus and provide an updated diagnosis of Tyrodes segrex.
