Abstract
Stephanitis Stål, 1873 (Hemiptera, Heteroptera, Tingidae, Tinginae, Tingini) is one of the most diverse lace bug genera in East Asia with over 50 species, many of them feeding on Ericaceae and Lauraceae. The Japanese species feeding on Lauraceae have high intraspecific and poor interspecific variation, so identification of some previous distribution records (mainly S. (Norba) aperta Horváth, 1912 and closely related taxa) is doubtful. In the present study, 5,080 specimens of Lauraceae-feeding species of Stephanitis from Japan were identified to species based on morphology, and DNA barcodes of the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit (COI) region for 53 of those individuals were also obtained. The combined morphological and molecular evidence dataset showed that 10 species of Stephanitis feed on lauraceous trees in Japan: S. (Stephanitis) ambigua Horváth, 1912, S. (Norba) aperta, S. (N.) exigua Horváth, 1912, S. (N.) hayashiisp. nov., S. (N.) hiurai Takeya, 1963, S. (N.) ishikawaisp. nov., S. (N.) mendica Horváth, 1912, S. (S.) tabidula Horváth, 1912, S. (S.) takeyai Drake & Maa, 1955 and S. (S.) tomokuniisp. nov. Additionally, a new synonymy, S. (S.) fasciicarina Takeya, 1931, syn. nov. with S. (S.) tabidula, is proposed, a key for identifying the 10 species is provided and their distribution ranges and host plant relationships are presented.
期刊介绍：
Founded in 1857 as Berliner Entomologische Zeitschrift, Deutsche Entomologische Zeitschrift is one of the World''s oldest international journals of systematic entomology. It publishes original research papers in English on the systematics, taxonomy, phylogeny, comparative morphology, and biogeography of insects. Other arthropods are also considered where of relevance to the biology of insects. The geographical scope of the journal is worldwide.
Deutsche Entomologische Zeitschrift (DEZ) is dedicated to provide an open access, high-quality forum to contribute to the documentation of insect species, their distribution, their properties, and their phylogenetic relationships. All submitted manuscripts are subject to peer-review by the leading specialists for the respective topic. The journal is published in open access high-resolution PDF, semantically enriched HTML and machine-readable XML versions.
