Abstract

The male imago of Harnischia ohmuraensis sp. n. from Nagasaki in western Kyushu, Japan, is described. The species belongs to the tribe Chironomini and is unique in having the tergite IX strongly protruded dorsally and a nearly parallelsided broad anal point. The male of Parachironomus monochromus (van der Wulp, 1874) new to Japan is redescribed.
