Eyes small and slightly protruding; longitudinal diameter about 1/5 as long as temple in dorsal view. Antennae elongate, AL/HL = 1.95; antennomere 1 robust and widest at apical 1/4; antennomere 2 slightly elongated and shorter than antennomere 3; antennomeres 3–10 narrow at base and widening towards apex; antennomere 11 fusiform; relative length of antennomeres as follows: 20.91: 10.36: 11.82: 10.73: 10.91: 10.18: 10.73: 10.00: 10.00: 10.00: 12.73; relative maximum width of antennomeres as follows: 15.40: 10.40: 10.60: 10.00: 10.20: 12.00: 11.60: 11.60: 11.60: 10.60: 10.00.</p>
            <p>Pronotum subtrapezoidal, with anterior margin wider than posterior one, PL/PW = 1.17, PL/HL = 1.06, PW/HW = 0.92, widest at apical 1/5; lateral sides of pronotum gently dilated to widest point, thence gradually convergent toward posterior margin; all corners obtusely rounded; disc sparsely covered with coarse and weak punctations except medial longitudinal line; punctations slightly sparser and less than head, with brownish yellow setae.</p>
            <p>Scutellum with some punctations and both anterior and posterior scutellar ridges. Elytra subtrapezoidal and widened posteriorly, EW/EL = 1.63, EL/PL = 0.52, EW/PW = 1.00; lateral margins almost straight; posterior corners rounded; disc covered with sparse and coarse punctations, gently shining; punctations denser than on pronotum, with brownish yellow setae. Hind wing completely reduced. Legs shortened tibiae and tarsi with golden setae; tarsomeres 1–4 of protarsus dilated.</p>
            <p>Abdomen elongate, gradually widened from segment III–V, thence contracted to the posterior end; each tergite covered with micropunctations and dark brown setae, distinctly long setae on each side near anterior margin; tergite X as long as posterolateral processes of tergite IX.</p>
            <p>Male. sternite VII (Fig. 1–B) transverse, without posteromedian impression, posterior margin almost straight; sternite VIII (Fig. 1–C) without posteromedian impression; each post–lateral margin slightly concave, with sparse, short thick setae on posteromedian area; sternite IX elongate.</p>

            <p>Female. Sternite VIII (Fig. 1–D) elongate, densely fringed with numerous setae, each post-lateral margin slightly concave.</p>
            <p> Diagnosis. This new species is similar to  Lathrobium onodai Watanabe, 1996 , which is described from Shimokoshiki-jima, Kagoshima Pref., in the general appearance and the aedeagal shape. However, the new species can be easily distinguished from it by the combination of following characteristics: 1) large internal sac with sclerotized structures; 2) head slightly oblong (HW/HL = 0.98) and broader than pronotum; 3) postrior margin of sternite VIII without distinct impression in male; 4) apical part of ventral process with small concave; 5) dorsal plate of aedeagus without hook curving dorsally (while in  L. onodai : head slightly transverse; anterior margin of sternite VIII with shallow impression; internal sac of aedeagus without scale-like spines; apical part of ventral process with hook curving ventrally; dorsal plate of aedeagus with hook curving dorsally). </p>
            <p>Etymology. The specific name of new species is derived from the type locality, “Gotô Islands”.</p>
            <p>Distribution. Japan (Gotô Islands, north of Kyushu).</p>
            <p>Habitat. All specimens were corrected under leaf litter.</p>

            <p> Diagnosis. This new species is similar to  Lathrobium horridum Assing, 2013 , which is described from Mt. Houman-zan, Fukuoka Pref. and belongs to the  Lathrobium brachypterum group (Senda 2020), in the general appearance and the aedeagal structure. However, the new species can be distinguished from it by the following characteristics: 1) internal sac with many sclerotized spines; 2) relatively smaller BL (5.5–7.3 mm); 3) sternite VIII without posteromedian impression; 4) each lateral side of ventral process of aedeagus with concavity at apical 1/3; 5) dorsal plate of aedeagus widened at middle area (while in  L. horridum: BL = 6.7–8.0 mm; sternite VIII with a shallow posteromedian impression; each lateral side of ventral process of aedeagus straight; dorsal plate of aedeagus slender; internal sac without sclerotized structures). </p>
            <p>Etymology. The specific name of new species is derived from the type locality, “Fukue-jima”.</p>
