Description

The present study describes two new species of the monocotyledon-feeding lace bugs of the genus Agramma Stephens, 1829 (Hemiptera, Heteroptera, Tingidae, Tinginae, Tingini) from small islands of Japan. The first is A. (A.) izuense sp. nov., which was recorded as A. (A.) japonicum (Drake, 1948) from Hachijo Island, the Izu Islands, in a previous study, and is considered an independent species here based on morphological characteristics and molecular data. The second is A. (A.) keramense sp. nov., which has a remarkable spineless head and was discovered from Aka and Geruma islands, Kerama Group, the Ryukyu Islands. Consequently, the following four species of Agramma were recognized in Japan: A. (A.) abruptifrons Golub, 1990, A. (A.) izuense sp. nov., A. (A.) japonicum, and A. (A.) keramense sp. nov. Only dozens of submacropterous morphs were confirmed in these two species in the present study, suggesting that both new species are flightless. In addition, an illustrated key for the identification of the four species from Japan and the host plant relationships of the two new species are provided.
