Kloosia Kruseman View in CoL View at ENA

Kloosia Kruseman, 1933: 152 View in CoL .

The genus Kloosia View in CoL is a member of the Harnischia View in CoL group. The male hypopygium has a non-shortened inferior volsella covered with very short setae only, lacking long, apical setae. Reiss (1988) included four species in Kloosia View in CoL , namely K. koreana Reiss, 1988 View in CoL collected in Eastern Asia, K. africana Reiss, 1988 View in CoL from tropical Africa, K. pusilla (Linnaeus, 1767) View in CoL from Europe and Russia, and K. dorsenna ( Saether, 1983) View in CoL from the Nearctic region.

This is the first record of Kloosia from Japan. Adults were collected at Nagara River, Gifu Prefecture and at Nishiki River, Iwakuni, Yamaguchi Prefecture, and larvae at Teradomari, Niigata Prefecture. All were identified to K. koreana .
