. Brigham Young University science bulletin. Biology -- Periodicals. Biological Series, Vol. 15, No. 1 87 em China, and they .stated that it distinctly .smaller, narrower in front with straighter sides and lateral grooves, and with a longer and sharper ventral spur on palpal article III. Pom- erantzev (1950) referred to dotigkisi as a sub- species and indicated that it inhabits the USSR. The relationship of japonica to japonica is not clear at the moment, and further study will be necessary to elucidate this problem. Hoog- straal (196S) considers japonicii and japonica douglasi to be identical. Dr.\CNOSis: This species is close to //. flava and has been mistakenly reported as H. concinna because of the similaritv of the palpal profile. However, unlike flava. the spur on coxa I is longer than the other coxal spurs in both sexes, and especial- ly in the male, coxa IV does not have such a long, sharp spur as in flava. It is also distin- guishable from concinna in that the tips of palpal article III are not so strongly recurved inward to become "pincerlike" in the male; the external profile of palpal article III is longer than that of II, while thev are subequal in con- cinna; palpal artical II has 5-6 infraintemal setae; and the spurs on coxae II and III are short but apparentlv extend beyond the posterior margin of the See diagnosis of H. con- cinna for comparison with that species. Dlstribution and Hosts: Recorded distribution in Japan is Hokkaido, .\omori. and Nagano prefectures. It is also known to occur in Korea and China. Pomerant- zev () gave the distribution of japonica as Southern Primor, USSR, in addition to the above, and the distribution of japonica doiiglasi as the USSR and northern China. Hosts record- ed in Japan and Korea are horses, cattle, Japa- nese serow, deer, dogs, and on one occasion, one nvmph from a wild hare. Pomerantzev () gave the hosts for japonica as deer, bear, lynx, badger, hedge
