Summary
Mainly based on the iconographical work of the larvae from Japan (Tanida 1985) which containded 66 genera and 107 + species of caddis larvae with keys and illustrations, the Trichoptera fauna of Japan is examined and a tentative checklist of the genera is provided, where 98 genera are listed with synonyms. The Trichoptera fauna of Japan is characterized by a mixture or Oriental, Holarctic, Asian Palaearctic and Nearctic genera along ones common to almost all faunal regions. The Japanese genera of Trichoptera are classified into 10 groups according to their patterns of zoogeographical distribution.
