Distribution

The distribution of Akiyoshia includes Japan from whence it was described.

There are some indications that so-called "Akiyoshia" species from southern China may not be true Akiyoshia.

Species within the genus Akiyoshia include:

Subgenus Akiyoshia

  • Akiyoshia uenoi Kuroda & Habe, 1954 - the type species, was described from Japan

Subgenus Saganoa Kuroda, Habe & Tamu, 1957
