| Summary: | Although the Japanese species of Urostylididae are of interest to not only heteropteran taxonomists, but also to the public, an illustrated key for all species of the family from the country is lacking. To date, the urostylidid species Urostylis hubeiensis Ren, 1997, has been known to occur in China and Korea, but not in Japan.Urostylis hubeiensis is recorded from Japan for the first time and represents the easternmost occurrence of this species. In Japan, it inhabits the broad-leaved forest of Tsushima Island and was found on Quercus acutissima Carruth. (Fagaceae). An illustrated key to the species of Urostylididae occurring in Japan is provided. |
