Abstract
The genus Leptopa Zetterstedt, 1838, which was recently regarded as a senior synonym of the genus Parallelomma Becker in Strobl, 1894 by Ozerov and Krivosheina (2023), is reviewed from Japan. Four species were identified, of which two new species, Leptopa kanmiyaisp. nov. and L. yezonicasp. nov., are described. The distributional records of all four species in Japan are given, and Leptopa hostae (Hering) is also recorded from the Republic of Korea for the first time. Leptopa yezonicasp. nov. was reared from the leaves of Polygonatum odoratum (Mill.) Druce var. pluriflorum (Miq.) Ohwi in Hokkaido, and its puparium is described. A key to the Japanese species of Leptopa is also provided.
