Japanese name: Nara-tsubu-emma-mushi.
Head densely and deeply punctate. Epistoma convex. Front feebly depressed between eyes, without stria.
Pronotum (Fig. 84A) strongly convergent to apices on sides. Disk sparsely covered with moderate and shallow punctures, which are separated by their own diameter to twice the diameter, the punctures becoming denser on lateral sides where they are separated by their own diameter to half the diameter, and with two shallow depressions behind the eyes. Marginal stria weakly crenate and complete.
Epipleural marginal stria complete with dense punctures. Elytral marginal stria entirely and deeply impressed, and separately punctate. Impunctate narrowly along epipleural marginal stria. Area between epipleural and elytral marginal striae with one or two rows of moderate punctures. Lateral side of elytron feebly elevated, and with two rows of sparse and moderate punctures. Surface of elytra (Fig. 84B, C) sparsely and coarsely punctate, the punctures a little coarser than those of the pronotum, shallow and separated by their own diameter to twice the diameter; impunctate narrowly on basal half near lateral one-third to half of elytron, the impunctate area slightly striate; finely punctate in a narrow band along suture; apical fourth of elytra densely covered with shallow rugae; extreme apex impunctate. Oblique humeral stria present on basal third. All dorsal striae obsolescent, but the 1st (or 2nd) stria entirely and feebly impressed, and the 2nd (or 3rd) indistinctly on basal half.
Propygidium densely covered with coarse and deep punctures, which are separated by half their diameter. Pygidium coarsely and sparsely punctate, the punctures being separated by their own diameter to twice the diameter, but becoming denser apically.
Anterior margin of prosternal lobe (Fig. 84D) straight and indistinctly margined. Disk of lobe densely covered with coarse punctures. Prosternal process nearly quadrate, its disk slightly convex, densely covered with coarse punctures except on a band along basal margin, and with complete carinal striae.
Anterior margin of mesosternum nearly straight (Fig. 84F). Mesosternum short (width : length = 16 : 5), densely and coarsely punctate. Lateral side of mesosternum (Fig. 84E) deeply marginate. Meso-metasternal suture with strongly crenate stria. Disk of metasternum convex medially, and coarsely with shallow punctures, which are separated by their own diameter to half the diameter, the punctures becoming finer on median area. Lateral metasternal stria carinate, extending obliquely and posteriorly, reaching near middle of metasternal-metepisternal suture.
Intercoxal disk of 1st abdominal sternum completely striate on each side, and finely and densely punctate, the punctures becoming coarser towards lateral and anterior margins.
Protibia dilated, its outer margin arcuate.

Remarks. Anapleus nakanei is very similar to A. nomurai,
but differs from the latter by the punctation of the pronotum, elytra and
meso- and metasterna (see the description of A. nomurai).
