Abstract

A redescription of Canthocamptus iaponicus Brehm is given, and three new species from Japan are described : Canthocamptus kitaurensis, C. macrosetifer, and C. takkobuensis. Canthocamptus iaponicus and C. kitaurensis are close to the North American species C. staphylinoides and the Asian species C. carinatus. The other two new species are close to the Eurasian species C staphylinus and C. microstaphylinus. The distribution ranges of these species in Japan as well as a key are presented.
