To deepen understanding the evolutionary process of lucanid–yeast association, the lateral transmission process of yeast symbionts among stag beetle genera  Platycerus  and  Prismognathus  around the border between Japan and South Korea was estimated based on molecular analyses and species distribution modelings. Phylogenetic analyses were based on yeast ITS and IGS sequences and beetle  COI  sequences using  Prismognathus dauricus  from the Tsushima Islands and  Pr. angularis  from Kyushu, Japan, as well as other sequence data from our previous studies. The range overlap based on the species distribution model (SDM) and differentiation in ecological space were analyzed. Based on the IGS sequences, Clade II yeast symbionts were shared by  Platycerus hongwonpyoi  and  Pr. dauricus  in South Korea and the Tsushima Islands, and  Platycerus viridicuprus  in Japan. Clade III yeasts were shared by  Pr. dauricus  from the Tsushima Islands and  Pr. angularis  in Japan. During the Last Interglacial period when the land bridge between Japan and the Korean Peninsula existed, range overlap was predicted to occur between  Pl. viridicuprus  and  Pr. dauricus  in Kyushu and between  Pr. dauricus  and  Pr. angularis  in Kyushu and the Tsushima Islands. The ecological space of  Pl. hongwonpyoi  was differentiated from that of  Pl. viridicuprus  and  Pr. angularis . We demonstrated the paleogeographical lateral transmission process of  Scheffersomyces  yeast symbionts among lucanid genera and species: putative transmission of yeasts from  Pr. dauricus  to  Pl. viridicuprus  in Kyushu and from  Pr. angularis  to  Pr. dauricus  in Kyushu or the Tsushima Islands. We also found that the yeast symbionts are likely being replaced in  Pr. dauricus  on the Tsushima Islands. We present novel estimates of the lateral transmission process of microbial symbionts based on phylogenetic, SDM and environmental analyses among lucanid beetles.
