Introduction
ThegenusHo1oleptaPAYKuLLisamaingroupinthetribeHololeptiniofthesub-
familyHisterinae. Themembersofthisgenus are known from 117 species in the
world(MAzuR,1984),andhavebeendividedinto2subgenera, Ho1o/e1(cid:3)taandLeio7'ota.
The former occursinJapan.
InhisfirststudyoftheJapaneseHo1olepta, LEWIS(1884) recordedamu,(cid:4)enslsand
described deptossa and para//e/a. Afterwards, he (1894) proposed the newname
higoniaeforhispara11ela,becausethisnamewaspreoccupied. ADAcHI (1930)studied
thesespeciesand prepared a key to them. NAKANE (1963) and HISAMATSu (l985)
gavephotographsoftheadultsof theJapanesespecies. Upto thepresent, however,
thegenitaliaofthesespecieshavenotbeenstudiedindetail.
Inthisstudy, Iamalsogoingtorecognizetheth1-eespeciesandtoredescribethem.
Themalegenitaliaofthespeciesandseveraltaxonomicfeaturesarefigured. In this
part,adescriptionofthegenusandakeytotheJapanesespeciesareprovided,and
oneof thespecies, amurensis, is redescribed. Thesubsequentpartofthisserieswill
containredescriptionsoftheother twospecies.
