Japan (Honshu, Shikoku, Kyushu, Hachijô-jima [NR], Iki Is., Fukue-jima, Tanega-shima [NR], Yakushima); Russia (Kunashir Is.), China (Shanghai).
Remarks
This species closely resembles Intybia tsushimensis (Satô & Ohbayashi, 1968), and is distinguished from the latter by the coloration and structure of the endophallus. These species are distributed allopatrically.
Biological notes
This species is the most common in mainland Japan. It inhabits forest edges and grasslands (Fig. 12A), and can be collected from shrubs and bushes by sweeping and beating.
