Charitopes Förster, 1869: 181 . Type: Hemiteles chrysopae Brischke, 1890 (= Hemiteles gastricus Holmgren, 1868). Included by Brischke (1890).

Adiastola Förster, 1869: 180 . Type: Adiastola americana Howard, 1897 . Included by Howard (1897).

Two species, Cha. gastricus (Holmgren, 1868) and Cha. striatus Townes, 1983, have been recorded from Japan. Although key to species including Japanese species has been provided by Townes (1983), I found two undetermined species from Japan. The taxonomic treatment of these speciesrequired the additional specimens and comparison with European species. In this study, I record the distributional data of Cha. gastricus below.
