Type material examined Lectotype, present designation: " Kobé / Kobe. / Japan. G. Lewis, 1910-320 / Lathrobium kobense mihi D. S. / Aedeagus at rest is turned to 90° in abdomen / Pseudobium kobense (Sharp), V.I. Gusarov det. 1992 / Lectotypus Lathrobium kobense Sharp , desig. V. Assing 2013 / Pseudobium kobense (Sharp), det. V. Assing 2013" ( BMNH). Paralectotype: "Type / Japan. G. Lewis / Sharp Coll, 1905-313 / Lathrobium kobense, Type D. S. / Japan / Pseudobium kobense (Sharp) , V.I. Gusarov det. 1992" ( BMNH) .

Comment: The original description is based on " two specimens " from "Kobé" ( SHARP 1874). Both of them, a male and a female, were located in the collections of the BMNH. The male is designated as the lectotype. An examination of the type material revealed that Lathrobium kobense belongs to Pseudobium MULSANT & REY 1878 and that this species is conspecific with P. hunanicum ASSING 2012 , which was recently described from China. Hence the synonymy proposed above. The external and sexual characters of the lectotype are illustrated in Figs 44-47 View Figs 44-47 .

Pseudobium kobense is now known from one locality in Japan and three localities in China ( ASSING 2012a, 2013d); the distribution is illustrated in Map 1 View Map 1 .
