Abstract
A total of 27 species of bruchids known from Japan is revised, of which 14 species are recognized as indigenous or established including an undescribed one. Five species have not been properly verified as to their establishment in the field, 6 species are newly synonymized, and 3 species are adventitious or their localities are mislabelled and thus excluded from our fauna. Keys for the identification of genera and species of Spermophagus and Bruchidius are given.
Contribution from the Entomological Laboratory, Faculty of Agriculture, Kyushu University, Fukuoka (Ser. 4, No. 1).
