Among the enigmatic taxa of Epiophlebia (Odonata: Epiophlebiidae), E. superstes (Selys 1889) in the Japanese archipelago is the only exception for which a great deal of ecological and morphological knowledge has been accumulated. Recently, a comprehensive review paper was published that reviewed the extensive literature on the observational record of E. superstes in Japan and estimated the environmental factors that limit their distribution range. In this study, I report several new collection records related to the distribution limits of E. superstes (the northernmost, and easternmost distributions, and highest areas on each of the four main islands of Japan). This new information on the distribution of E. superstes may help to better understand its potential habitat and range and may provide valuable data for the conservation of this species in the future.
