Comment : In Japan, L. japonicum was previously known only from Rishiri-tô, an island to the west of Hokkaido. In the recent checklist of the Lathrobium species of Japan in (ASSING 2013f), L. japonicum is categorized as macropterous. However, according to Ryvkin (e-mail, 2 December, 2014), all the specimens from Kunashir, Iturup, and Sakhalin examined by him have reduced hind wings.
