Acicnemis ryukyuana Lewis, new species is described from Okinawa Island and Ishigaki Island, Japan. Although A. ryukyuana is most appropriately placed within the genus Acicnemis Fairmaire based on external and genital morphology, notably the third tarsomere is not prominently emarginate as in most of its congeners. High-resolution stacked photographs are included along with a description of this morphologically distinct new species.
