論文の詳細を見る
The present Family Sphaeritidae is a small one of Coleoptera containing only three species (Sphaerites glabratus FABRICIUS, S.politus MANNERHEIM, and S. dimidiatus JURECEK) from the Holarctic region in the world. But, unfortunately, any species of the family have never been recorded from Japan until today. In 1954, K. Miyamori collected a single beetle of the family at Mt. Kurodake of Mts. Daisetsu in Hokkaido, and in summer of the next year, the junior author also obtained a single one at the same locality. These examples undoubtedly belong to the same species and may be identified as Sphaerites politus MANNERHEIM, which has hitherto been known from the Pacific coast of North America. In this paper a description of the species is given in Japanese with notes on the other species of the present family.
