Abstract
The family Eosentomidae from Japan is revised. A new genus, Osientomon, is erected and a new species is ascribed to this genus. This new genus is characterized by the short, setiform sensillum g, absence of sensilla e and b'1 on foretarsus, and S-shaped processus sternalis and duck’s head type caput processus on the female squama genitalis. Two new species are added to the genus Pseudanisentomon and 19 new species and 1 new record of the genus Eosentomon are described. As a result, 43 species belonging to 4 genera are now recognized from Japan. Taxonomic keys are provided for the identification of the genera and species from Japan.
