Abstract

The species of the tribe Brontini from Japan and Taiwan are revised. Two new species, Megahyliota cryptolucidussp. nov. and Macrohyliota sculptussp. nov. (misidentified with Mac. gracilicornis (Arrow)), are described. Also described are mature larvae of four species, Dendrophagus longicornis Reitter, Mac. sculptussp. nov., Meg. cryptolucidussp. nov., and Uleiota arboreus (Reitter), and pupae of three species, Mac. sculptussp. nov., Meg. cryptolucidussp. nov., and U. arboreus. These are the first larval descriptions for Macrohyliota and Megahyliota as well as the first pupal illustrations and detailed descriptions for the entire tribe Brontini. Macrohyliota gracilicornis and U. planatus (L.) should be excluded from the Japanese fauna. The diagnostic characters among brontine larvae and the character states of larval morphologies between Brontini and Telephanini are also discussed.
