KUGELANN from Japan (Coleoptera: Hydraenidae) M.A. JÄCH & J.A. DÍAZ Abstract Six new species of Hydraena s.str. KUGELANN, 1794 are described from Japan (Honshu and Tsushima): H. curvipes (Nagano Pref.), H. hayashii (Shimane Pref.), H. kadowakii (Tottori Pref., Okayama Pref.), H. kamitei (Gifu Pref., Tochigi Pref.), H. kitayamai (Osaka Pref.), and H. tsushimaensis (Nagasaki Pref.: Tsushima Isl.). The genus Hydraena is recorded from the island of Tsushima for the first time. Hydraena notsui SATÔ, 1978 is recorded from Honshu for the first time. Key words: Coleoptera, Hydraenidae, Hydraena s.str., taxonomy, new species, Japan, Honshu, Tsushima. Introduction Five species of the subgenus Hydraena s.str. KUGELANN (sensu TRIZZINO et al., in press) had so far been recorded from Japan (see JÄCH & SATÔ 1988, JÄCH & DÍAZ 1999, JÄCH 2004): three of these species are known only from Honshu (H. chifengi JÄCH & DÍAZ, 1999; H. watanabei JÄCH & SATÔ, 1988; H. yoshitomii JÄCH & DÍAZ, 1999), one is known from Honshu and Hokkaido (H. riparia KUGELANN, 1794) and one from Shikoku (H. notsui SATÔ, 1978). In the last few years, a number of Hydraena specimens were collected by several Japanese coleopterists on Honshu and Tsushima (between Kyushu and South Korea). These samples include six unknown species, which are described in the present paper. In addition, some new faunistic records are presented. Material and Methods About 150 unidentified specimens of Hydraena s.str. from Japan were examined. These were collected by M.
