Dear Bill,
The attached pictures were found and taken by Hisako Yamada. This is certainly Gastropteridae, we think. But we can't determine further identification. Can you please help us?

Dear Haruo,
Yes this is a species of the Gastropteridae and I think it is probably a species of Gastropteron. However I don't recognise it and think it may be an unnamed species. Perhaps someone will recognise it.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
