Hemiteles genus group

(subtribe Hemitelina sensu Townes (1970) and Horstmann (1992))

Three genera, Aclastus Förster, 1869, Hemiteles Gravenhorst, 1829, and Xiphulcus Townes, 1970, have been recorded from Japan. In addition, I found Obisiphaga Morley, 1907 and Polyaulon Förster, 1869 from Japan. The taxonomic treatment of these genera requires the additional specimens and comparison with European species. In this study, I review Aclastus and Hemiteles . The identification of genera see Townes (1970).
