Abstract

The Japanese assassin bugs of the subfamily Reduviinae are revised. Six species in four genera are recognized, including two new species, Reduvius yaeyamanus and Tiarodes miyamotoi, both from Ishigaki Island and Iriomote Island in the Ryukyu Islands. The four previously known species are diagnosed. A key is given for the separation of the Japanese genera and species of the Reduviinae.
