Hemiptera flat bug Palaearctic Region taxonomy

Abstract

The Calisiinae (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Aradidae) of Japan are revised. Four species, all undescribed, are recognized. A new genus, Nipponocalisius gen. nov., is proposed, containing three new species: N. ishikawanus sp. nov., N. tomokunii sp. nov. and N. dimorphus sp. nov. A new species of Aradosyrtis A. Costa, 1864, A. shonoi sp. nov., is also described.
