Grypoctonus aino Speiser, 1928 . Schr. phys.-okon. Ges. Konigsberg 65: 156 – Type locality: Japan: Nagasaki – Type collection: ZSMC [ Hradský & Geller-Grimm (1999)].

Distribution. Japan: Honshu, Shikoku, Kyushu.

Remarks. Lehr (1988) listed G. aino as synonym of Grypoctonus hatakeyamae (Matsumura, 1916) , but Hradský & Geller-Grimm (1999) studied the types of Speiser and concluded that G. aino is a valid species based on the wing venation and the morphology of the male genitalia.
