C16787B1FFC6FFC7FE68F37DFBF32E5B.taxon	discussion	Comments. We studied several species of these two genera and found that their diagnostic features were the same: antennae, wing venation, body structure and ovipositor shape were all identical. The only differences appear to be those suggested by NOYES & HAYAT (1984) and NOYES (1990). In Epitetracnemus there is a line of silvery setae across the face and the fore wing has a stronger pattern of infuscation. In Adelencyrtus the face lacks a line of silvery setae and the fore wing is generally hyaline or only weakly infuscate. However these characters show some varaibility across these genera. ZHANG & SHI (2010) also stated that these two genera are very close and that further studies were needed to assess the validity of the two genera. For instance Epitetracnemus comis Noyes & Ren, 1987 is extremely close to Adelencyrtus and would run to Adelencyrtus in TRJAPITZIN’ s (1989) key to Palaearctic species. In this species, the line of silver setae across the face is hardly present and therefore we suggest that Epitetracnemus should be treated as a junior synonym of Adelencyrtus. As a result of this synonymy, besides the combinations proposed below, the following new combinations are proposed: Adelencyrtus bandus (Zhang & Shi, 2010) comb. nov. (from Epitetracnemus), A. kosef (Li & Byun, 2002) comb. nov. (from Epitetracnemus), A. reni (Zhang & Shi, 2010) comb. nov. (from Epitetracnemus), A. sexguttatipennis (Girault, 1915) comb. nov. (from Epitetracnemus), A. shanghaiensis (Si, Li & Li, 2010) comb. nov. (from Epitetracnemus).	en	Japoshvili, George, Higashiura, Yoshimitsu, Kamitani, Satoshi (2016): A review of Japanese Encyrtidae (Hymenoptera), with descriptions of new species, new records and comments on the types described by Japanese authors.

C16787B1FFCAFFCAFE42F403FC802A04.taxon	discussion	Comments. It is likely that the host recorded above is erroneous since species of Anagyrus are almost exclusively parasitoids of mealybugs (Hemiptera: Pseudococcidae). It is likely that the true host is Phenacoccus pergandei Cockerell, 1896, a species commonly found on Mallotus japonicus in Japan (KAWAI 1980) and which looks very similar to Pulvinaria sp. (Hemiptera: Coccidae). TACHIKAWA (1963) also states that the abovementioned host record is probably incorrect, as all specimens found later in Japan were reared only from Phenacoccus sp. We were not able to find the type material of A. alboclavatus.	en	Japoshvili, George, Higashiura, Yoshimitsu, Kamitani, Satoshi (2016): A review of Japanese Encyrtidae (Hymenoptera), with descriptions of new species, new records and comments on the types described by Japanese authors.

C16787B1FFCAFFCBFE10F2C6FC352D7B.taxon	discussion	Comments. TACHIKAWA (1963) supposed that A. subalbipes may be a synonym of A. sawadai, later NOYES & HAYAT (1994) also mentioned that these two names could be synonymous, however they were unable to examine the type material. The species is indeed close to A. sawadai, but it differs in the relative width of the frontovertex, ocellar angle, relative scape width and length of the malar space. In A. subalbipes the frontovetex is 0.38 × head width, the ocelli form a slightly obtuse angle, the scape is about 1.87 × as long as broad and the malar space is about 0.41 × as long as an eye. In A. sawadai frontovertex is 0.25 × head width, scape much longer than 2 × as long as broad and malar space about 0.5 × as long as an eye.	en	Japoshvili, George, Higashiura, Yoshimitsu, Kamitani, Satoshi (2016): A review of Japanese Encyrtidae (Hymenoptera), with descriptions of new species, new records and comments on the types described by Japanese authors.

In couplete 517 of TRJAPITZIN’ s (1989) key to Palaearcic genera he stated that in Aphydencyrtoides the frontovertex is 2 × as long as wide. This statement is incorrect since in the type material the frontovertex is at most 1.3 × as long as wide which would lead the user to Metablastothrix. Morphologically these two genera can be distinguished by the very short gonostyli and wide outer plates of the ovipiositor in Aphidencyrtoides which contrast with the relatively longer gonostyli and narrower outer plates of the ovipositor in Metablastothrix. Furthermore, the hosts of both genera belong to different superfamilies of hemipterans, the Aphidoidea and Coccoidea respectively (SUGONJAEV & TRJAPITZIN 1988).	en	Japoshvili, George, Higashiura, Yoshimitsu, Kamitani, Satoshi (2016): A review of Japanese Encyrtidae (Hymenoptera), with descriptions of new species, new records and comments on the types described by Japanese authors.

C16787B1FFD0FFD0FE90F658FCEA2CBA.taxon	discussion	Comments. According to John Noyes (pers. comm.), Bethylomimus was incorrectly synonymised with Zaommoencyrtus Girault, 1916, by TRJAPITZIN & GORDTH (1978). It differs from Zaommoencyrtus in having the head hypognathous, the filum spinosum conspicuously converging with the proximal margin of the linea calva and directed towards the junction of the submarginal and marginal veins and lack a strongly swollen parastigma whereas in Zaommoencyrtus the head is more or less prognathous, the filum spinosum is not directed towards the junction of the submarginal and marginal veins and the parastigma is strongly swollen and much wider than the submarginal vein. The characters highlighted by YANG et al. (2013) are incorrect as they are based on an undescribed species, whose placement in Zaommoencyrtus by NOYES et al. (1996) is possibly incorrect. It is likely that species previously placed in Bethylomimus could be quite easily accommodated in that genus. However, as we are confident that C. togashii is a synonym of B. academus (supported by morphological characters and proximity of the type locality of B. academus, Russia: Primorskiy Kray, to Japan) we prefer to reinstate Bethylomimus as a valid genus until the generic limits of the two genera can be investigated in more detail. Further work will probably suggest that Bethylomimus includes diminutive species that actually represent a monophyletic clade derived from within the Cerchysiella clade.	en	Japoshvili, George, Higashiura, Yoshimitsu, Kamitani, Satoshi (2016): A review of Japanese Encyrtidae (Hymenoptera), with descriptions of new species, new records and comments on the types described by Japanese authors.

C16787B1FFD6FFD6FE51F658FEBD2C50.taxon	discussion	Comments. The material labelled as ‘ paratype’ and ‘ allotype’ has no nomenclatural status since ISHII (1928) based the description of C. kiushiuensis on the unique male holotype. The species was synonymised with C. quinqueguttata by TACHIKAWA (1962). Although they are treated as a single species by NOYES (1978), European and Asian specimens differ significantly in their morphology and therefore we believe that their status as a single species requires further investigation.	en	Japoshvili, George, Higashiura, Yoshimitsu, Kamitani, Satoshi (2016): A review of Japanese Encyrtidae (Hymenoptera), with descriptions of new species, new records and comments on the types described by Japanese authors.

C16787B1FFD4FFD4FE66F658FE302D80.taxon	discussion	Comments. In the type material of this species the frontovertex is slightly wider (about 0.17 – 0.20 × head width) than the ratio (about 0.13 × head width) given by TRJAPITZIN (1989) in his key for species. It is also worth noting that the apical 1 / 10 of the fore wing is hyaline and ovipositor is clearly exserted with the exserted part about 0.17 × as long as the gaster. Cheiloneurus ceroplastis is very close to C. boldyrevi, and may be conspecific with it. The only difference we could find between these species is that C. ceroplastis has F 6 dark brown whilst in C. boldyrevi it is white.	en	Japoshvili, George, Higashiura, Yoshimitsu, Kamitani, Satoshi (2016): A review of Japanese Encyrtidae (Hymenoptera), with descriptions of new species, new records and comments on the types described by Japanese authors.

We have examined specimens of Cheiloneurus claviger from a number of different localities and it is apparent that the coloration of the funicule segments varies widely, especially F 4 and F 5. This opinion is supported by SUGONJAEV (1962), TACHIKAWA (1963) and TRJAPITZIN (1989). As Cheiloneurus claviger is a widely distributed and variable species we have no hesitation in treating C. japonicus as a junior synonym of C. claviger.	en	Japoshvili, George, Higashiura, Yoshimitsu, Kamitani, Satoshi (2016): A review of Japanese Encyrtidae (Hymenoptera), with descriptions of new species, new records and comments on the types described by Japanese authors.

All type specimens were reared from Pseudococcus on Citrus (ISHII 1923). In TRJAPITZIN’ S (1989) key to Palaearctic genera this species does not run to Clausenia, because in his key Clausenia has a postmarginal vein longer than the marginal vein (couplet 280), which is not correct. In the examined material the marginal vein is considerably longer than postmarginal. In TRJAPITZIN’ s (1989) key to species of Clausenia he states that F 1 is not longer or slightly longer than wide, whereas in the type material F 1 is 1.4 – 1.6 × as long as wide and F 2 and F 3 each 1.5 × as long as wide.	en	Japoshvili, George, Higashiura, Yoshimitsu, Kamitani, Satoshi (2016): A review of Japanese Encyrtidae (Hymenoptera), with descriptions of new species, new records and comments on the types described by Japanese authors.

Specimens of C. koehleri have a wider clavus almost 3 × as long as broad, while in C. uruguayensis it is 4.3 × as long as broad. Mid tibia of C. uruguayensis with the apical 0.2 – 0.25 yellow, while in C. koehleri mid tibia is completely dark; the postmarginal vein is not developed in C. uruguayensis, while in C. koehleri it is indicated. TACHIKAWA (1968) adequately illustrated differences between these species, and therefore we restitute C. uruguayensis as a valid species.	en	Japoshvili, George, Higashiura, Yoshimitsu, Kamitani, Satoshi (2016): A review of Japanese Encyrtidae (Hymenoptera), with descriptions of new species, new records and comments on the types described by Japanese authors.

C16787B1FFD9FFD9FE46F60FFEB22DAC.taxon	discussion	Comments. Eugahania yanoi was treated as a synonym of E. fumipennis by HOFFER (1956) and later TACHIKAWA (1963) accepted this synonymy. SHARKOV (1984) later studied the type of E. yanoi and considered it as a valid species. We agree with Sharkov and after a careful analysis of the original desctiption of E. mongolica we are confident that E. mongolica and E. yanoi are conspecific.	en	Japoshvili, George, Higashiura, Yoshimitsu, Kamitani, Satoshi (2016): A review of Japanese Encyrtidae (Hymenoptera), with descriptions of new species, new records and comments on the types described by Japanese authors.

C16787B1FFDEFFDEFE63F658FB8D2D80.taxon	discussion	Comments. The lectotype is missing its head and the overall body colouration has faded to orange-yellow probably due to storage in alcohol or similar medium in a glass tube. We have mounted the remains of the lectotype on a card. Examination of the non-type material in Tachikawa’s collection shows that the head is mostly brown, but yellow between the toruli and anterior ocellus. F 1 is dark brown with the remaining funicle segments white, the tegula is brown in the apical half with the basal half white and the mid femur is dusky-yellow. The colour of the head, tegula and mid femur is not included in Ishii’s original description of the species.	en	Japoshvili, George, Higashiura, Yoshimitsu, Kamitani, Satoshi (2016): A review of Japanese Encyrtidae (Hymenoptera), with descriptions of new species, new records and comments on the types described by Japanese authors.

The collecting month for the holotype (May) provided by TACHIKAWA (1963 a) is incorrect; it is actually June (given above). In the holotype the frontovertex is dirty yellow, with slight greenish metallic reflection; the mesosoma is brown, all funicle segments are longer than wide, the exserted part of the ovipositor is 1.3 × as long as mid tibial spur and the hypopygium almost reaches the apex of gaster. As the exserted part of the ovipositor is almost 0.25 × as long as the gaster, couplet 116 in TRJAPITZIN (1989) is incorrect in stating that it is 0.33 – 0.5 × as long as gaster.	en	Japoshvili, George, Higashiura, Yoshimitsu, Kamitani, Satoshi (2016): A review of Japanese Encyrtidae (Hymenoptera), with descriptions of new species, new records and comments on the types described by Japanese authors.

C16787B1FFDCFFDDFE74F247FC612EDB.taxon	discussion	Comments. The type material of L. rubra falls within the variation observed in material of L. bifasciata housed in European collections, in particular antennal and general body colouration. Females of L. bifasciata vary from the head and mesosoma being generally bright red to orangish brown, with F 1 and sometimes F 2 and clava varying from pale orange to brown. We are therefore confident that L. rubra is a junior synonym of L. bifasciata.	en	Japoshvili, George, Higashiura, Yoshimitsu, Kamitani, Satoshi (2016): A review of Japanese Encyrtidae (Hymenoptera), with descriptions of new species, new records and comments on the types described by Japanese authors.

C16787B1FFDDFFDDFE60F58CFDF62B04.taxon	discussion	Comments. ISHII (1928) states that the posterior ocellus is separated from the eye margin by a space twice its own diameter and from the occipital margin by a little less than its own diameter. This is not correct. In the holotype OCL and OOL are equal and 2.5 × OD. The slide-mounted fore wing of the holotype is poorly mounted, which makes it impossible to accurately measure its length and width. Leptomastix citri is very close to L. tetrica Noyes & Hayat, 1994, and they may be synonymous, but this can only be identified with direct comparison of the relevant type material.	en	Japoshvili, George, Higashiura, Yoshimitsu, Kamitani, Satoshi (2016): A review of Japanese Encyrtidae (Hymenoptera), with descriptions of new species, new records and comments on the types described by Japanese authors.

After a long term study of many species of Microterys and Aschitus we cannot find any significant and consistent characters for distinguishing these two genera. Therefore, as has already been suggested by NOYES (2010) and JAPOSHVILI (2010), we believe that the two genera should be treated as one. As a result of this synonymy, the following species previously included in Aschitus (see JENSEN 1989) must be transferred to Microterys: Microterys algiricus (Ferrière, 1956) comb. nov.

C16787B1FFE6FFE6FE1DF78FFDFF2C2B.taxon	discussion	Comments. The species was initially misidentified as M. okitsuensis Compere, 1926 by ISHII (1928) and consequently TACHIKAWA (1963) proposed a new name for this species. We were not able to find any specimens labelled as M. okitusensis in Dr. Ishii’s collection, but we consider also the material in Dr. Tachikawa’s collection fitting the original description of M. ishiii as syntypes: ‘ … specimens which were reared from Pulvinaria aurantii collected by me in Kyushu (Fukuoka; Oita) were not M. okitsuensis but M. ishiii. M. ishiii is very common and widely distributed in Honshu, Shikoku and Kyushu, and is an important parasite of Pulvinaria aurantii. ’; TACHIKAWA 1963). We have selected a lectotype from this material. This species runs very close to M. turanicus (Sugnojaev, 1965) in TRJAPITZIN’ S (1989) key. PILIPYUK & SUGONJAEV (1971) described M. insularis from Sakhalin and Kuril Islands, and this was later synonymised with M. turanicus by SUGONJAEV (1976). It is therefore possible that M. insularis is actually a synonym of M. ishiii, but this can only be confirmed by comparison with the relevant type material.	en	Japoshvili, George, Higashiura, Yoshimitsu, Kamitani, Satoshi (2016): A review of Japanese Encyrtidae (Hymenoptera), with descriptions of new species, new records and comments on the types described by Japanese authors.

C16787B1FFE6FFE6FE0DF488FCA62A1B.taxon	discussion	Comments. We must note that the non type specimens identified by Sugonjaev as M. turanicus lutescens Sugionjaev, 1976 examined by first author, actually belong to M. kuwanai. Later M. turanicus lutescens was treated under M. turanicus by NOYES (2015). Thus the true identification of M. turanicus lutescens needs further investigation.	en	Japoshvili, George, Higashiura, Yoshimitsu, Kamitani, Satoshi (2016): A review of Japanese Encyrtidae (Hymenoptera), with descriptions of new species, new records and comments on the types described by Japanese authors.

C16787B1FFE7FFE7FE77F441FE562BBC.taxon	discussion	Comments. This species was previously misidentifed by JAPOSHVILI (2011) as M. amamiensis. However as we have not been able to examine the type material of M. amamiensis, it is possible that the two names are synonymous. TRJAPITZIN’ s (1989) statement that the exserted part of the ovipositor of M. speciosus is 0.2 – 0.25 × as long as the gaster is not correct. In all females of this species that we have examined the exserted part of the ovipositor is about 0.33 × as long as the gaster.	en	Japoshvili, George, Higashiura, Yoshimitsu, Kamitani, Satoshi (2016): A review of Japanese Encyrtidae (Hymenoptera), with descriptions of new species, new records and comments on the types described by Japanese authors.

C16787B1FFEAFFEAFE4CF78FFC9E2C8B.taxon	discussion	Comments. The illustration of the fore wing provided by ISHII (1928) is incorrect, as he showed the hyaline apical margin of the fore wing to be as long as maximum wing width, whereas in reality it is considerably shorter, about 0.7 × as long as maximum width of fore wing. This error was pointed out by TACHIKAWA (1963 a) in his drawing, but this was ignored by TRJAPITZIN (1989). ISHII (1928) also stated that this species is an important parasitoid of mealybugs (Hemiptera: Pseudococcidae), but this was questioned by TACHIKAWA (1963 a) who pointed out that species of Prochiloneurus are usually exclusively hyperparasitoids of mealybugs via other encyrtids. However, TRJAPITZIN (1989) also recorded other species of Prochiloneurus as primary mealybug parasitoids and this is supported by our own experience, Prochiloneurus bolivari being reared from mealybugs in the laboratory of Suleyman Demirel University, Plant Protection Department, Isparta, Turkey (G. Japoshvili, personal observation).	en	Japoshvili, George, Higashiura, Yoshimitsu, Kamitani, Satoshi (2016): A review of Japanese Encyrtidae (Hymenoptera), with descriptions of new species, new records and comments on the types described by Japanese authors.

C16787B1FFEAFFEAFE71F370FC3E2A61.taxon	discussion	Comments. On a global scale, this genus comprises more than 230 species and is morphologically very diverse. It is likely that a comprehensive study on a worldwide basis will show that the genus should be divided. For instance the synonymy of Psyllencyrtus Tachikawa, 1955, with Psyllaephagus by TRJAPITZIN (1971) was not accepted by either TACHIKAWA (1981) or YAMAGISHI (1989). For this reason, we plan to use a more integrated approach (combined biological, molecular and morphological data) to investigate further the generic limits in this group.	en	Japoshvili, George, Higashiura, Yoshimitsu, Kamitani, Satoshi (2016): A review of Japanese Encyrtidae (Hymenoptera), with descriptions of new species, new records and comments on the types described by Japanese authors.

This species was introduced to Japan for biological control of Phyllocnistis citrella (Stainton, 1856) (Lepidoptera: Gracillariidae) (UJIYE 2000); however, the species has not been recorded in Japan since its introduction.	en	Japoshvili, George, Higashiura, Yoshimitsu, Kamitani, Satoshi (2016): A review of Japanese Encyrtidae (Hymenoptera), with descriptions of new species, new records and comments on the types described by Japanese authors.

C16787B1FFF0FFF0FE6BF365FD142BF4.taxon	discussion	Comments. NOYES (2016) erroneously recorded the species from Japan based on NOYES & HAYAT (1994), but this paper does not mention Japan.	en	Japoshvili, George, Higashiura, Yoshimitsu, Kamitani, Satoshi (2016): A review of Japanese Encyrtidae (Hymenoptera), with descriptions of new species, new records and comments on the types described by Japanese authors.

C16787B1FFF0FFF0FE4AF38FFEAA2A84.taxon	discussion	Comments. The above material was incorrectly identified as Ch. phenacocci by TACHIKAWA (1971). The specimens differ from Ch. phenacocci in having all funicle segments longer than wide, the scutellum yellow and the clava shorter than F 2 – F 6. In Ch. phenacocci the funicle segments F 2 – F 3 are almost subquadrate and F 4 slightly longer than width. We therefore removed this species from the list of Japanese encyrtids. The true identity of the specimens remains unresolved.	en	Japoshvili, George, Higashiura, Yoshimitsu, Kamitani, Satoshi (2016): A review of Japanese Encyrtidae (Hymenoptera), with descriptions of new species, new records and comments on the types described by Japanese authors.

C16787B1FFF1FFF1FE5AF78FFE912E04.taxon	discussion	Comments. We excluded this species from the list, as we had no information about its establishment in Japan.	en	Japoshvili, George, Higashiura, Yoshimitsu, Kamitani, Satoshi (2016): A review of Japanese Encyrtidae (Hymenoptera), with descriptions of new species, new records and comments on the types described by Japanese authors.

C16787B1FFF1FFF1FE43F6C6FB872D13.taxon	discussion	Comments. In Tachikawa’s collection (ELKU) we found a box containing some 33 specimens (7 ♀♀, Hokkaido, Mt. You, Alkan Nat. Park, 25. vi. 1958, Y. Murakami lgt.) labelled as Litomastix claviger Mercet, 1921. This species was synonymized with Copidosoma thebe by GUERRIERI & NOYES (2005). However, the specimens examined by us did not belong to C. thebe and more closely resembled C. cyaneum Hoffer, 1970 and C. zdeneki Guerrieri & Noyes, 2005 and therefore we excluded the possible record of C. thebe from the list of Japanese fauna.	en	Japoshvili, George, Higashiura, Yoshimitsu, Kamitani, Satoshi (2016): A review of Japanese Encyrtidae (Hymenoptera), with descriptions of new species, new records and comments on the types described by Japanese authors.

C16787B1FFF1FFF1FEAEF5F7FD112C62.taxon	discussion	Comments. See comments under Eugahania yanoi. As we considered E. yanoi to be a valid species there are no records of E. fumipennis from Japan.	en	Japoshvili, George, Higashiura, Yoshimitsu, Kamitani, Satoshi (2016): A review of Japanese Encyrtidae (Hymenoptera), with descriptions of new species, new records and comments on the types described by Japanese authors.

C16787B1FFF1FFF1FEBAF460FB842CB1.taxon	discussion	Comments. NOYES (2016) records this species from Japan citing TACHIKAWA (1980 b) as the source. However, TACHIKAWA (1980 b) states, that H. pseudococcina was reared from Dysmicoccus brevipes (Cockerell, 1893) imported from Taiwan to Yokohama. Since then, H. pseudococcina has not been recorded from Japan, and we preferred to exclude it from its fauna.	en	Japoshvili, George, Higashiura, Yoshimitsu, Kamitani, Satoshi (2016): A review of Japanese Encyrtidae (Hymenoptera), with descriptions of new species, new records and comments on the types described by Japanese authors.

C16787B1FFF1FFF1FEB5F351FC762BC0.taxon	discussion	Comments. Information about this species occurring in Japan in NOYES (2016) is based on TRJAPITZIN & RUIZ- CANCINO (2003) and TRJAPITZIN & TRIAPITSYN (2004). In these publications the authors cited NOYES (2002), which however did not include any mention of the species. Therefore we considered the record as erroneous and excluded it from the list.	en	Japoshvili, George, Higashiura, Yoshimitsu, Kamitani, Satoshi (2016): A review of Japanese Encyrtidae (Hymenoptera), with descriptions of new species, new records and comments on the types described by Japanese authors.

C16787B1FFF1FFF1FEBBF382FEB12A1F.taxon	discussion	Comments. NOYES (2015) cites NOYES & HAYAT (1994) as the origin of the record of this species from Japan. But these authors cited TACHIKAWA (1964) as the source. We were unable to find any record of this species from Japan in any publication of Tachikawa and therefore removed it from the list.	en	Japoshvili, George, Higashiura, Yoshimitsu, Kamitani, Satoshi (2016): A review of Japanese Encyrtidae (Hymenoptera), with descriptions of new species, new records and comments on the types described by Japanese authors.
