Chirotica View in CoL View at ENA genus group

(subtribe Chiroticina sensu Townes (1970))

Two genera, Chirotica Förster, 1869 and Paraphylax Förster, 1869 , have been recorded from Japan. In addition, I found Bentyra from Japan. In this study, I newly record this genus from Japan and review Chirotica and Paraphylax . The Japanese genera can be distinguished by the following key.

Key to Japanese genera of Chirotica View in CoL View at ENA genus group

1. Upper tooth of mandible longer than lower tooth. Mesoscutum with a median longitudinal groove on the median lobe in Japanese species ( Fig. 63G View Fig ). ……………………..… Bentyra Cameron, 1905 View in CoL

-. Upper tooth of mandible as long as or slightly shorter than lower tooth. Mesoscutum with or without a median longitudinal groove on the median lobe. ……………………………………………………… 2

2. Median part of face relatively strongly convex. Area superomedia longitudinally elongate ( Fig. 65F View Fig ). Vein 2rsm indistinct or absent ( Fig. 20C View Fig ). Mesoscutum without a median longitudinal groove on the median lobe in Japanese species. ……………………………… Chirotica Förster, 1869 View in CoL

-. Median part of face relatively weakly convex or flat. Area superomedia not longitudinally elongate ( Figs 65G–J View Fig ). Vein 2rs-m short but distinct (e.g., Fig. 21C View Fig ). Mesoscutum with a median longitudinal groove on the median lobe in Japanese species. ………….....…………… Paraphylax Förster, 1869 View in CoL
