Abstract: In this paper, I revise the taxonomy of the lace bug genus Agramma
Stephens, 1829 (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Tingidae: Tinginae) from Japan. Two
species are recognized and re-described: A. japonicum (Drake, 1948)
described previously from Japan, and A. abruptifrons Golub, 1990, newly
recorded from Japan. The previous records of A. nexile (Drake, 1948)
from Japan are confirmed as misidentifications of A. japonicum. The
host plant relationship is discussed for A. abruptifrons and A.
japonicum. Photographs of living individuals for A. abruptifrons
and A. japonicum are presented. A key is provided to facilitate the
identification of the two species of Agramma distributed in Japan.
