            <p> Diagnosis. The male of this species is very similar to that of  Homoplectra flagelliformis sp. nov. but is distinguishable from the latter by the characters given in the diagnosis for that species. </p>
            <p>The female is easily distinguishable from those of other Japanese species by the shape of a pair of large round basoventral lobes on the vulvar scale (Figs 3H, 3I). Furthermore, female segment IX of this species has a pair of unique ventrolateral sclerotized plates that are oblong in dorsal and lateral aspects (marked with arrows in Figs 3G, 3I).</p>

            <p>Distribution. Westernmost Honshu, northern Kyushu.</p>
            <p>Biology. Larval and pupal specimens of this species were collected from small streams in hilly and mountainous areas.</p>
            <p>Japanese name. Kimadara-shima-tobikera.</p>
            <p> Remarks. Banks (1906) described  A. japonica from Fukuoka, Kyushu and Gifu, central Honshu as “Hikosan, Buzen [now Fukuoka], Japan, 28 April; also from Gifu ”, but no holotype was designated. Nozaki (2021) transferred this species to the genus  Homoplectra based on examination of photographs of a syntype male (MCZ:Ent:11833) collected from Fukuoka and deposited in the Banks collection of MCZ. In this study, I examined photographs of another specimen also deposited in the Banks collection as a syntype (MCZ:Ent:648191) kindly provided Dr. C. W. Farnum (MCZ). Since this specimen had a handwritten label “ Gifu Japan ” (https://mczbase.mcz.harvard.edu/ guid/MCZ:Ent:648191), the record from Gifu in the original description by Banks (1906) must have been based on it. Although I could not examine its genital morphology because of mold covered the abdomen, the length of the scape of left antenna (right antenna missing) was apparently longer than its width. Since the syntype male collected from Fukuoka has a short scape (Nozaki 2021, fig. 5A), these two specimens must belong to different species. Thus, I designate here the male collected from Fukuoka (MCZ:Ent:11833) as the lectotype to fix the status of the taxon name. </p>
            <p> As a result of the lectotype designation of  A. japonica , another specimen (MCZ:Ent:648191) becomes a paralectotype. Although I could not identify this specimen at the species level,  H. albomarginata is widely distributed in Gifu Prefecture and the scape of each antenna (Figs 2B, 2C) is longer than that of  H. japonica (Figs 1C, 1E). Ulmer (1907) recorded  H. japonica (as  D. japonica ), also from Gifu; but it was a misidentification of  H. albomarginata (see the Remarks for that species). </p>

            <p> Diagnosis. Adults of this species and  H. japonica are similar to each other in general morphology and coloration, but these species can be distinguished from each other by the length of the antennal scape: Each scape of this species is apparently longer than wide in this species (Figs 2B, 2C), but as long as wide in  H. japonica (Figs 1C, 1E). The male and female of this species are similar to those of  Homoplectra inazui sp. nov. in having long antennal scapes (Figs 2B, 2C); but are easily distinguishable from the latter by the following characters: In the male, the subapicomesal surface of each inferior appendage bears a small process with a few apical spine-like setae in  H. albomarginata (Fig. 4A), but many spine-like setae arise directly from the apicomesal surface in  H. inazui sp. nov. (Fig. 10A); in the female, tergum IX is broadly sclerotized ventrally in  H. albomarginata (marked with an arrow in Fig. 4H) but semi-membranous in  H. inazui sp. nov. (Fig. 10H). Furthermore, the vaginal apparatus bears an eye-glasses-shaped sclerite posterodorsally in this species (Fig. 4H) but lacks such a sclerite in  H. inazui . </p>
            <p> The larva is distinguishable from known Japanese larvae by the shape of anterior margin of the frontoclypeal apotome given in the diagnosis for  H. japonica . Furthermore, abdominal segment VII is lacking the subventral tufts of gills in this species but bears them in the known Japanese species (Nozaki 2019; Kochi et al. 2023). </p>
            <p>Description</p>
            <p> Adult (Figs 2A–2C). General morphology and coloration similar to those of  H. japonica , but scape of each antenna apparently longer than wide (Figs 2B, 2C). Yellow markings on female wings occasionally indistinct or lacking (Fig. 2A 3). Holotype female lacking distinct markings of wings (Nozaki 2021, fig. 6A). Forewings each 7.0– 9.5 mm long in male (n = 10), 8.5–11.5 mm long in female (n = 11), 10.3 mm long in female holotype. Antennae shorter than forewings; scape approximately 2 times longer than wide, with long hair-like setae dorsally, each pedicel about 1/4 length of its scape (Figs 2B, 2C). </p>
            <p>Male genitalia (Figs 4A–4F). Ventrolateral side of synsclerotized segment IX triangular anteriorly in lateral aspect (Fig. 4A); posteroventral lobe triangular in ventral aspect (Fig. 4C); dorsal part of segment IX semicircular in dorsal aspect (Fig. 4B), broadly fused with segment X laterally (Fig. 4A). Segment X tapering to acute apex and bilobed posteriorly in dorsal aspect, pair of posterolateral setose areas protruding posterad (Figs 4A, 4B); ventral part membranous, with pair of posterior processes (p.p.X) thick and sword-like (Figs 4A, 4D) with base of each process fused with lateral strip (l.s.) of genital chamber (Figs 4A, 4D). Genital chamber with pair of lateral strips (l.s.) strongly sclerotized (Figs 4A, 4D), rarely with pair of tiny inner processes (i.p.) near base of phallotheca (Fig. 4D). Inferior appendages long and finger-like, slightly bent upward at 2/5 from base, truncate apically in lateral aspect (Fig. 4A); each apex weakly depressed mesally, with short process bearing few tiny spine-like setae subapicomesally (Figs 4A inset, 4C). Basal plate of inferior appendages sclerotized, long rectangular in ventral aspect (Fig. 4C) and fused anteriorly with anteroventral edge of phallotheca. Phallotheca evenly curved ventrad (Figs 4A, 4E 1, 4E 2); with dorsal process (d.p.p.) and pairs of lateral and ventral processes (l.p.p. and v.p.p.), each apex acute, length of each process variable (Figs 4E 1, 4E 2); with thick ventral spine (v.s.p.) sub-basally (Figs 4C, 4E 1, 4E 2). Aedeagus (Fig. 4F) evenly curved ventrad; stem with lateral flanges, half-pipe-like; head approximately 1/10 of stem.</p>
            <p>Female genitalia (Figs 4G–4J). Lateral lobes of sternum VIII (l.l.) widely separated from each other ventrally (Fig. 4I). Segment IX obliquely rectangular in lateral aspect (Fig. 4G), trapezoidal in dorsal aspect (Fig. 3H); ventral surface of tergum broadly sclerotized, wing-like in dorsal aspect (marked with an arrow in Fig. 4H); mesal lobe (m.l.IX) weakly sclerotized, oval in lateral aspect (Fig. 4G), each forming large pocket-like crevice between it and segment IX in ventral aspect (marked with an arrow and asterisk in Fig. 4I); pair of sclerotized ribs (s.r.) forming pair of short round plate-like lobes on vulvar scale basoventrally (Fig. 4I), but shape of lobes variable (Figs 4J1–4J3). Vulvar scale (v.s.) large, tongue-like, its apical margin with small median protrusion (Fig. 4I); with pair of deep holes basolaterally. Segment X setose, tall and longitudinally shot in lateral aspect (Fig. 4G). Vaginal apparatus (v.a.) long pentagonal in dorsal aspect (Fig. 4H), tapering to duct of bursa copulatrix; with eye-glasses-shaped sclerite posterodorsally, with pair of longitudinal ridges dorsally, and with dark arched marking anterodorsally, partially surrounding opening of duct of spermatheca (d.s.).</p>
            <p>Variations of male and female genitalia (Fig. 5). As described above, some of females collected from Moroka, Sakauchi-sakamoto, Ibigawa-cho, Gifu, have genitalia, especially a pair of basoventral lobes on the vulvar scale, very similar to those of the holotype female (Fig. 4I; Nozaki 2021, fig. 6C) although the shape is variable even at the same site (Figs 4J1–4J3). In males in this population, the lengths of the processes of the phallotheca are also variable (Figs 4E 1, 4E 2). Furthermore, males collected nearby, in the same town, where females have their genitalia indistinguishable to those of the Moroka population, each bear a pair of distinct inner processes of the genital chamber, and the length of these processes is variable (Figs 5A 1, 5A 2). In other areas, different forms of the male genitalia are found not only in the above-mentioned characters but also in the shapes of segment X, the posteroventral lobe of segment IX, inferior appendages, the head of the aedeagus, and the presence or absence of the ventral spine of the phallotheca. Females collected with these males often have genitalia slightly different from those of the Moroka population, especially in the shape of the vulvar scale and vaginal apparatus. Some examples of these male and female variations are shown in Figs 5B–5F; although these forms are often variable even in the same locality.</p>
            <p>Final instar larva (Figs 12A, 12C). Head 1.3–1.8 mm wide (n = 8), slightly longer than wide (Fig. 12A); frontoclypeal apotome asymmetrical in dorsal aspect, anterior margin evenly convex mesally, concave laterally, left side recessed, secondary setae acicular (Fig. 12B, inset); posterior angle 82°–85°, maximum width 0.9–1.2 mm. Meso- and metathorax and abdominal segments bearing gills, with one pair of ventral tufts of gills on mesothorax and abdominal segment VII, with two pairs of ventral tufts of gills on metathorax and each of abdominal segments I to VI, with 1–3 lateral conical gills on each of abdominal segments III to VII.</p>
            <p> Pupa (Fig. 12C). Body length 9.5–12 mm (n = 5). Anal processes (Fig. 12C) sclerotized, not bifurcate, ventral surfaces covered by tiny spines, with apices acute and directed dorsad. Other characters similar to those of  H. japonica (Figs 11C–11E). </p>

            <p>Distribution. Honshu (central to western).</p>
            <p>Biology. Larvae of this species were collected from small spring flows or seeps in mountain areas. Adults were active in the daytime of late spring to early summer, and Watanabe (2021) reported a diurnal mating behavior.</p>
            <p>Japanese name. Nagae-kimadara-shima-tobikera.</p>
            <p> Remarks. Descriptions of male and female genitalia above are based on 17 males and 15 females collected using a Malaise trap in Moroka, Sakauchi-sakamoto, Ibigawa-cho, Gifu Prefecture. These females have genitalia similar to those of the holotype female (Nozaki 2021, fig. 6C). Ulmer (1907) described this species as a member of the genus  Diplectrona based on a female specimen, and Nozaki (2021) transferred it to the genus  Homoplectra based on the examination of photographs of the holotype. </p>
            <p>Nozaki (2021) mistakenly wrote that the holotype female was collected from “an unknown locality in Gifu, central Honshu”; but in fact, Ulmer (1907) did not mention the precise name of the type locality other than “ Japan.” Although the type locality of this species is not known, females which have similar genital morphology as those of the holotype were found in specimens collected from western Gifu and adjacent areas in central Honshu in this study (Fig. 4I and Nozaki 2021, fig. 6E).</p>
            <p> In addition, Ulmer (1907) recorded males collected from Gifu as  Diplectrona japonica [=  H. japonica ]; however, the male of  H. japonica described above does not have a pair of long spine-like processes arising from the genital chamber as described and illustrated by Ulmer (1907, figs 114–115). According to Ulmer’s description, his male bears a tooth-like projection (eine zahnartige Erhebung) on the subapicomesal face of each inferior appendage. These characters suggest that his specimen must belong to  H. albomarginata . </p>
            <p> The male and female genitalia of  H. albomarginata are very variable (Figs 4, 5). Although I treat them as individual and/or geographic variations in the single species  H. albomariginata , further study with molecular data is needed to confirm their identity and phylogenetic relationships. </p>

            <p> Diplectroninae Gen. japonica Species Complex: Nojima 2017 (in part), p. 119. </p>
            <p> Diagnosis. The male of this species is very similar to that of  H. japonica in the short antennal scapes and the shape of the phallic apparatus; but can be distinguished by the shape of the ventral processes of the phallotheca and aedeagus: In this species, the ventral processes of the phallotheca are almost straight apically (Figs 6D, 6H), and the stem of the aedeagus bears a pair of round lobes apically in lateral aspect (Fig. 6D); but in  H. japonica , the ventral processes of phallotheca curve dotsomesad apically (Figs 3D, 3E), and the posterior margin of the aedeagal stem is truncate in lateral aspect (Fig. 3D). </p>
            <p> The female of this species is similar to that of  Homoplectra shikoku sp. nov. , in having a trapezoidal basoventral lobe on the vulvar scale but these species can be easily distinguished from each other by the shape of the lateral lobes of segment VIII: The mesal margin of each lateral lobe is concave in the middle in this species (Fig. 6K), but it is smoothly convex in  H. shikoku sp. nov. (Fig. 7K). </p>
            <p>Description</p>
            <p> Adult. Length of antennal scape and general coloration of body and wings very similar to those of  H. japonica . Wings occasionally uniformly dark brown in female. Forewings each 8.5–10 mm in male (n = 10), 10.5–13 mm in female (n = 10), 9.7 mm in male holotype. </p>
            <p>Male genitalia (Figs 6A–6H). Ventrolateral sides of synsclerotized segment IX protruding anterad and round on each side in lateral aspect (Fig. 6A); posteroventral lobe long and rectangular in ventral aspect (Fig. 6C), its apex weakly bilobed in ventral aspect. Dorsal part of segment IX subtriangular, apically round in dorsal aspect (Fig. 6B), fused with segment X laterally (Fig. 6A). Segment X bilobed in dorsal aspect (Fig. 6B), with pair of large posterolateral setose areas (Fig. 6A); each ventrolateral margin sclerotized, recessed into segment IX (Fig. 6A). Inferior appendages each without distal segment, long and finger-like in lateral aspect (Fig. 6A), extending beyond apex of segment X, slightly curved upward apically; slightly convex subapicomesally, with about 10 spine-like setae (Figs 6A–6C). In phallotheca, long dorsal process thin, whip-like in lateral aspect (Fig. 6D), gradually curving posteroventrad (specimens macerated by KOH solution often strongly curved or recurved apically as in Fig. 6F); broad basally and tapering to acute apex in dorsal aspect (Fig. 6E); lateral processes absent; pair of ventral processes in lateral and dorsal aspect (Figs 6D–6F) slender, almost straight, approximately half as long as dorsal process. Aedeagus evenly curved ventrad in lateral aspect (Fig. 6D); stem half-pipe-like, with pair of posterior lobes, each lobe oval in lateral aspect (Figs 6D) and concave mesally (Fig. 6E); with head approximately 1/4 as long as basal stem (Fig. 6D).</p>
            <p>Female genitalia (Figs 6I–6L). Lateral lobes of sternum VIII widely separated from each other in ventral aspect (Fig. 6K), each with mesal margin concave in middle. Segment IX oblique rectangular in lateral aspect (Fig. 6I), subpentagonal with round lateral and apical margins in dorsal aspect (Fig. 6J); pair of mesal lobes sclerotized, semicircular in lateral aspect (Fig. 6I); pair of sclerotized ribs forming wide trapezoidal lobe on vulvar scale basoventrally (Fig. 6K). Vulvar scale large, membranous and convex apically. Vaginal apparatus long pentagonal in dorsal aspect (Fig. 6J), tapering to duct of bursa copulatrix; posterodorsal part semimembranous, with complicated wrinkles, with pair of longitudinal ridges dorsally, opening of duct of spermatheca situated between ridges near middle, with dark inverted V-shaped mark dorsally, partially surrounding opening of duct of spermatheca (Fig. 6J).</p>
            <p>Geographic variations of male and female genitalia (Figs 6G, 6H, 6L). In males collected from Okayama and Hiroshima Prefectures, the posteroventral lobe of segment IX is short (Fig. 6G). The ventral processes of the phallotheca are approximately the same length as the dorsal process of the phallotheca in specimens collected from Hiroshima Prefecture (Fig. 6H). In females collected from Hiroshima Prefecture, the posterior margin of basoventral lobe on the vulvar scale is shallowly concave (Fig. 6L).</p>

            <p> Diagnosis. The male of this species is somewhat similar to those of  H. japonica and  H. flagelliformis sp. nov. in having a short antennal scape and in the shape of the phallic apparatus; but is easily distinguishable from those two species by bearing long inner processes of the genital chamber and posterior processes of segment X (Fig. 7C). </p>
            <p> The female of this species is similar to that of  H. flagelliformis sp. nov. in having a trapezoidal basoventral lobe on the vulvar scale, but they can be distinguished from each other by the character states given in the diagnosis for that species. </p>
            <p>Description</p>

            <p> Homoplectra bicornis sp. nov.</p>
            <p>(Fig. 8, 13)</p>
            <p>Diagnosis. The male of this species is easily distinguishable from those of other congeneric Japanese species by the pair of posterodorsal horn-like lobes of the segment IX (Fig. 8B). The female is also easily distinguishable from those of known Japanese species by the bottle-like sclerotization of the ventral side of segment X (Fig. 8H).</p>
            <p>Description</p>
            <p> Adult. General morphology and coloration similar to those of  Homoplectra japonica , yellow markings on female wings often indistinct. Forewings each 6.0–9.0 mm long in male (n = 10), 7.5–10.0 mm long in female (n = 3), 7.2 mm in male holotype. </p>
            <p>Male genitalia (8A–8E). Ventrolateral sides of synsclerotized segment IX with triangular anterior projection in lateral aspect (Fig. 8A); posteroventral lobe triangular and tiny or lacking (Fig. 8C); dorsal part of segment IX rectangular in dorsal aspect (Fig. 8B), with pair of straight, horn-like lobes posterolaterally; broadly fused with segment X laterally (Fig. 8A). Segment X tapering to acute apex in dorsal aspect (Fig. 8B), bilobed posteriorly; pair of posterolateral setose areas protruding posteriorly (Fig. 8A); pair of posterior processes of segment X (p.p.X) long, spine-like, directed posterodorsad, each fused with lateral strip of genital chamber (l.s.) near posteroventral corner of segment X (Fig. 8A). Genital chamber with pair of sclerotized lateral strips curved dorsad near posteroventral corner of segment X (Fig. 8A); pair of inner processes (i.p.) long, spine-like, each arising from near anterior part of lateral strip, slightly curved ventrad, approximately as long as posterior processes of segment X (Fig. 8A). Inferior appendages each without distal segment, slightly clavate in lateral aspect (Fig. 8A), extending slightly beyond apex of segment X; each weakly convex subapicomesally, with 5–10 spine-like setae (Figs 8A inset, 8B, 8C). Phallic apparatus arcuate in lateral aspect (Fig. 8D); dorsal process of phallotheca long and narrowly triangular in dorsal aspect (Fig. 8E); pair of lateral processes of phallotheca 1/5 as long as dorsal process, usually acute apically (Fig. 8D) but rarely blunt; pair of ventral processes longer than dorsal process, each with apical half weakly sinuated in dorsal aspect (Fig. 8E). Aedeagal stem half-pipe-like, moderately curved ventrad; head about 1/7 as long as stem (Figs 8D, 8E).</p>
            <p>Geographic variation of male genitalia (Fig. 8F). In males collected from Yamanashi Prefecture, each horn-like posterolateral lobe of segment IX in dorsal aspect is apically round and directed mesad (Fig. 8F).</p>
            <p>Female genitalia (Fig. 8G–8H). Lateral lobes of sternum VIII cleft from base (Fig. 8I). Segment IX obliquely rectangular in lateral aspect (Fig. 8G), subpentagonal posteriorly in dorsal aspect (Fig. 8H), tergum widely sclerotized ventrally; each mesal lobe sclerotized, bean-shaped in lateral aspect (Fig. 8G), forming large crevice between it and segment IX; with pair of sclerotized ribs on vulvar scale basolaterally in ventral aspect (Fig. 8I), weakly ridged near anteromesal margins. Vulvar scale large, membranous apically (Fig. 8I). Segment X setose, subrectangular, longitudinally short in lateral aspect (Fig. 8G); ventral side sclerotized, with shape of large bottle in dorsal aspect (marked with an arrow in Fig. 8H). Vaginal apparatus slender pentagonal in dorsal aspect (Fig. 8H), with pair of falcate sclerites posterodorsally, with pair of dorsal longitudinal ridges, and with dark arch mark between ridges anterodorsally, mostly surrounding opening of duct of spermatheca (Fig. 8H).</p>

            <p>Diagnosis. The male of this species is easily distinguishable from those of other congeneric Japanese species by the shape of the phallic apparatus:A pair of long ventral processes of the phallotheca are bent sharply in the middle, and each apical sinuated part is easily visible from the ventral or caudal sides (Figs 9C, 9E). The female of this species is distinguishable from those of known Japanese species by the shape of the vaginal apparatus: A pair of dorsal ridges are broad anteriorly in dorsal and lateral aspects (Fig. 9G).</p>
            <p>Description</p>
            <p> Adult. General appearance similar to that of  H. japonica , but setae on dorsal warts of head and prothorax mostly brown; face of head, coxae and femora of all legs dark brown in both male and female.
