Japanese name: Ô-tsubu-emma-mushi.
Description. Female. Body oval, convex, black and shining; tarsi, tarsus and antennae light brown. Body length, PPL, 2.45 - 2.84 mm (2.65 ± 0.07, n=4), PEL, 2.29 - 2.62 mm (2.49 ± 0.06, n=4). Width, 1.96 - 2.09 mm (2.03 ± 0.02, n=4). Biometric data are given in Table 27.
Head (Fig. 88B) densely and coarsely punctate. Epistoma convex. Front depressed between eyes, without striae.
Pronotum strongly convergent anteriorly on sides. Disk densely covered with coarse and deep punctures, which are separated by about one-third their diameter. Marginal stria weakly carinate and complete.
Epipleural marginal stria complete and strongly crenate. Elytral marginal stria carinate, complete and crenate. Impunctate narrowly along epipleural marginal stria. Area between these striae with two or three rows of coarse and dense punctures. Surface of elytra (Fig. 88C, D) sparsely covered with large, shallow, and ocelloid punctures, which are separated by about their own diameter to twice the diameter medially, the punctures becoming denser and a little finer laterally; dense fine punctures narrowly along the sutural line; apical fifth of elytra with shallow longitudinal rugae; extreme apex impunctate. Dorsal striae obsolescent, but the 1st dorsal stria slightly impressed on mediobasal one-fourth, and the 2nd slightly on about the basal half.
Propygidium densely covered with moderate and deep punctures, which are as large as those on the elytral apices. Pygidium moderately punctate, the punctures becoming denser and finer towards apical margin. Disk of pygidium convex and feebly depressed behind tip.
Anterior margin of prosternal lobe (Fig. 89A) straight, and indistinctly margined. Prosternal process nearly quadrate, its disk coarsely punctate, sometimes with fine punctures intermingled, and with complete carinal striae (Fig. 89A).
Anterior margin of mesosternum feebly and outwardly arcuate in median portion. Mesosternum short (width : length = 24 : 7), densely and coarsely punctate, with fine punctures intermingled. Lateral sides distinctly margined. Meso-metasternal suture with strongly crenated stria. Mesosternum even, densely covered with large and deep punctures, which are separated by their own diameter to half the diameter, with fine punctures intermingled (Fig. 89B). Lateral metasternal stria extending obliquely and posteriorly, reaching near middle of metasternal-metepisternal suture. Intercoxal disk of 1st abdominal sternum completely striate on each side, densely covered with moderate punctures, which are coarser along the anterior margin.
Protibia (Fig. 78D) dilated, its outer margin with an obtuse angle at middle.
Male genitalia as shown in Fig. 90.

Remarks. Anapleus hagai is easy to recognize by its large size
and the depressed pygidium.
