Abstract

Fifteen Japanese species of the family Incurvariidae (Lepidoptera) are dealt with. Three species, Phylloporia bistrigella (Haworth, 1828), Excurvaria praelatella ([Denis & Schiffermuller], 1775) and Incurvaria vetulella (Zetterstedt, 1839) are newly recorded from Japan. The females of Paraclemensia oligospina Nielsen, 1982 and P. monospina Nielsen, 1982 are reported for the first time and the genitalia are described. The male and female genitalia of Incurvaria alniella (Issiki, 1957) and I. takeuchii Issiki, 1957 are described. Photographs of the adults of all the 15 species and the larvae of 5 species with the host plants, illustrations of the adult heads, wing venations, female 7th abdominal sternum and tergum and the male and female genitalia are provided. The host plants of Procacitas orientella (Kozlov, 1987), Alloclemensia maculata Nielsen, 1982 and I. takeuchii Issiki were found to be Pyrola incarnata Fischer (Pyrolaceae), Viburnum furcatum Blume ex Maxim (Caprifoliaceae) and Clethra barbinervis Siebold & Zucc. (Clethraceae), respectively.
