Abstract
The naming system of sclerites on osmylid larvae is proposed by observation of three Japanese osmylid species, Osmylus (Osmylus) hyalinatus McLachlan, 1875, O. (O.) pryeri McLachlan, 1875, and O. (Plesiosmylus) tessellatus McLachlan, 1875. The last instar larvae of the genus and species are described with biological notes and a key to the species. Osmylus kisoensis Iwata, 1928 is synonymized with O. (O.) pryeri McLachlan, 1875.
