Comments.

The transfer of Triteleia japonica to Leptoteleia renders , L. japonica Yamagishi as a junior objective homonym. We hereby provide a replacement name in the interest of nomenclatural clarity.

Etymology.

The Latin adjectival epithet “striola,” meaning “furrow” or “line”, refers to the longitudinal costae mentioned by Yamagishi (1993) as a character useful for the diagnosis for this species.
