Abstract

Japanese species of the genus Netelia the subgenus Netelia are revised by mainly re-examining the specimens, which were used by previous authors and preserved in Systematic Entomology, Hokkaido University, to confirm the species records from Japan. New species found among those specimens are described and unrecorded species from Japan found not only in the collection of Hokkaido University but also in the major ichneumonid collections in Japan are recorded. Twenty-five species are recognized. Seven new species, N. (N.) amamiensis, N. (N.) gotoi, N. (N.) kusigematii, N. (N.) kyushuensis, N. (N.) nigritarsalis, N. (N.) nomurai and N. (N.) oharai, are described. Ten species, N. (N.) atlantor Aubert, 1971, N. (N.) atra Tolkanitz, 1999, N. (N.) denticulator Aubert, 1968, N. (N.) facialis Kaur & Jonathan, 1979, N. (N.) fulvator Delrio, 1971, N. (N.) infractor Delrio, 1971, N. (N.) melanura (Thomson, 1888), N. (N.) rapida Tolkanitz, 1981, N. (N.) silantjewi (Kokujev, 1899) and N. (N.) vegeta Tolkanits, 1981 are recorded from Japan for the first time and redescribed based on Japanese specimens. Male genitalia of N. (N.) formosana (Matsumura, 1912), N. (N.) nigrinota (Uchida, 1928), N. (N.) takaozana (Uchida, 1928) and N. (N.) unicolor (Smith, 1874) are figured and described for the first time. One new synonymy of species proposed is Paniscus testaceus var. nigronotatus Uchida, 1928 under N. (N.) melanura. Four species, N. (N.) ocellaris (Thomson, 1888), N. (N.) opacula (Thomson, 1888), N. (N.) testacea (Gravenhorst, 1829) and N. (N.) vinulae (Scopoli, 1763) are redescribed based on Japanese specimens. N. (N.) dilatata (Thomson, 1888), N. (N.) fuscicornis (Holmgren, 1860), N. (N.) grumi (Kokujev, 1906) and N. (N.) nigriventris (Brullé, 1846) are excluded from Japanese fauna. A key to 25 Japanese species is given.
