Partygarrupius moiwaensis: Foddai et al. 2003: 1253–1254 , table 1 [without attribution]; Uliana et al. 2007: 62–63, figs 71–72 [authorship attributed to Takakuwa (1934b)]; Shinohara et al. 2015: 895, 908, fig. 8 (895) (without attribution).

Type series. No types were designated in Takakuwa (1934a –c), although Takakuwa (1934b, c) indicate that the descriptions were based on multiple specimens. While examining the Miyosi collection we found neither of the two syntypes reported by Takashima (1955) and assume they have been lost.

Type locality. Takakuwa (1934a) did not refer the type locality. Mt . Moiwayama, Sapporo , Hokkaido, was mentioned as the locality of this species in Takakuwa’s subsequent publications ( Takakuwa 1934b, c) .

Japanese name. A Japanese name for this species first appeared in Takakuwa (1934c), as “Moiwa-nagazujimukade”, subsequently shortened to the form adopted here, “Moiwajimukade” ( Takakuwa 1938b, 1939a, 1940a; Murakami 1993).

Remarks. In ChiloBase 2.0 (Bonato et al. 2016b), the authorship of this species is attributed to Takakuwa (1934b) but should be corrected to Takakuwa (1934a).
