A. nipponensis\u0000 is larger and narrower than most other species belonging to the complex. The unusual shape of the antennal club is illustrated and discussed. The male genitalia are small but of comparable size to several other Anthrenus species relative to body length. The accuracy of published drawings\u0000 of A. nipponensis aedeagi is discussed. The literature is searched for records of A. nipponensis to produce a geographical and phenological distribution. The species is distributed across Japan, the Korean peninsula, north-eastern corner of China, and the south-eastern tip of\u0000 Russia. The adult flight season peaks during the second half of May.
