Abstract

In this paper, the author reports the validities of the scientific names of the two Japanese species belonging to the genus Neope, which have been recently separated as the distinct species. They should be treated as follows: Neope goschkevitschii (Menetries, 1857) =N. japonica Butler, 1867 (Distributions : endemic to the main islands of Japan) Neope niphonica Butler, 1881 =N. goschkevitschii solowiyofkae Matsumura, 1911 =N. goschkevitschii kurilensis Matsumura, 1928 (Distributions : Sakhalin, the Southern Kuriles and Japan) ssp. marumoi Esaki et Umeno, 1929 (Distribution : Yaku I. of Kagoshima Prefecture) The type-specimen of N. goschkevitschii is proven to be captured by Goschkevitsch himself in the spring of 1855 at Shimoda, Heda or its neighbourhood of Shizuoka Prefecture from the historical analysis of Goschkevitsch's itineraries. The morphological and ecological characters of these two species are also summarized and introduced.
