Description
Olivinirmus amamiensis Mey, 2017
Olivinirmus amamiensis Mey, 2197: 112, fig. 28, pl. IV: fig. 2.
Type host: Garrulus lidthi Bonaparte, 1850—Amami jay.
Type locality: Amami Oshima Island, Japan.
Remarks. Olivinirmus amamiensis Mey, 2017 is known from females only, and the description includes a single illustration of the lateral tergopleurites. Thus, it cannot be placed in any of the species groups defined by Gustafsson & Bush (2017). Mey (2017: 112) compares Ol. amamiensis with Ol. Glandarii and Ol. perisoreus, both of which belong to the Ol. Glandarii species group. Although the differences between Ol. amamiensis and Ol. Glandarii, based on Mey’s (2017) descriptions, seem tenuous, we examined additional material from the same host species and agree that they are two different species. The material we have studied belongs in the Ol. Glandarii species group.
