Abstract:
The genus Cryptochironomus Kieffer, 1918 from Japan is reviewed based on material composed of male adults. New combinations of three species are established and they are re-described based on male adult of: C. misumaiprimus (Sasa & Suzuki, 1998), comb. n., C. tokaraefeus (Sasa & Suzuki, 1995), comb. n. and C. tonewabeus (Sasa & Tanaka, 2002), comb. n. Additional taxonomic notes are also provided: C. albofasciatus (Staeger, 1839), which is a senior synonym of Parachironomus inafegeus Sasa, Kitami & Suzuki, 2001 and C. rostratus (Kieffer, 1921) as the senior synonym of Paracladopelma inaheia Sasa, Kitami & Suzuki, 2001. A key to the known adult males of the genus from Japan is given.
