The species of Japanese Diplopods seemed to have been included completely in "The Diplopods of Japan and its Adjacent Territories" (issued in 1954) by Mr. Yosioki Takakuwa. On the contrary, many new species have been added and shown by Mr. Yasunori Miyosi, Mr. Akiharu Haga and others, and there seems to be no limit to its appearance. We are also going to state hereunder about the two groups new to science. They both belong to Fam. Leptodesmidae, Gen. Japonaria and are comparatively of large size for the Japanese Diplopods. The specific name of the new species was dedicated to Dr. Yosioki Takakuwa, pioneer in the study of the Japanese Diplopods.
