Taxonomic affinities.
Belongs to Empria longicornis group (see Prous et al. 2011b). Morphologically the most similar species are Empria tridens (Konow, 1896), Empria longicornis , and Empria sp. 1, from which Empria japonica can be distinguished by having maximal length of temple mostly more than 1.40 (in males rarely 1.30) times greater than mini mal length of temple (less than 1.35 in the other three species). Empria sp. 1 differs clearly also by its penis valve (cf. Fig. 35-36).
Host plants.
Unknown, but could be Rubus idaeus L. subsp. melanolasius (Dieck) Focke (see Prous et al. 2011b).
Distribution.
Japan (Hokkaido).
