Type species: Hoplocryptus binotatula Thomson, 1873 (= Cryptus fugitivus Gravenhorst, 1829 ). Designated by Viereck (1914) . Six species, Ho. alboanalis ( Uchida, 1952 ) , Ho. ohgushii ( Momoi, 1963 ) , Ho. pini ( Momoi, 1973 ) , Ho. scorteus ( Momoi, 1968 ) , Ho. sugiharai Uchida, 1936 and Ho. sumiyona Uchida, 1956 , have been recorded from Japan . Recently Wang et al. (2019b) provided a key to the species of this genus known from the Oriental and Eastern Palaearctic regions. I herein describe six new species, Ho. ashoroensis sp. nov. , Ho. ezoensis sp. nov. , Ho. intermedius sp. nov. , Ho. japonicus sp. nov. , Ho. maculatus sp. nov. and Ho. toshimensis sp. nov. , from Japan . In addition, I redescribe Ho. pini with a new description of male and record Ho. sumiyona from Tokunoshima Island for the first time below.
