The Japanese barklouse (Stimulopalpus japonicus) is a species of tropical barklouse in the family Amphientomidae, described by German biologist Günther Enderlein in 1906.[1] Males are unknown, suggesting females might reproduce by thelytoky.[2] It is native to Japan, but also found elsewhere in East Asia, and in South Asia. It was inadvertently introduced to the United States (in the 1940s) and to Italy.[2][3][4] They are often found congregating on rocks and concrete.[2]
