Gymnopleurus (Paragymnopleurus) stipes ssp. japonicus Balthasar, 1955: 395 View in CoL .

Current status. Nomen dubium.

Remark. This subspecies was described according to the holotype only from the collection of V. Balthasar ( BALTHASAR 1955). However, there is no mention of this taxon in the Balthasar’s collection, and we were not able to trace the type specimen in the NMPC. Because the depository of the type is not known and no gymnopleurine species is known from Japan (e.g. FUJIOKA 2001), the name G. (P.) stipes japonicus was regarded a nomen dubium by BEZDĚK (2006).
