N1 - Funding Information:
We are grateful to J.E. O’Hara and D.M. Wood (CNC) for giving HS the chance to examine the type specimen of B. nigra and other specimens in Mesnil’s collection. We also thank P. J. van Helsdingen (NBDC), R. Lichtenberg (NHMW) and S. Yoshimatsu (IAES) for kindly allowing HS to examine specimens in their charge. Satoshi Shi-nonaga (Tokyo, Japan), H. Kurahashi (Tokyo, Japan), the late R. Kano (Tokyo, Japan), K. Hara (Saitama, Japan), T. Nambu (Saitama, Japan), K. Yano (Yamaguchi, Japan), E. Samuelson (Honolulu, USA), Y. Miyatake (Nara, Japan) and M. Yafuso (Okinawa, Japan) are acknowledged for their help with specimens. James E. O’Hara read through an early draft of this paper. Peter Tschorsnig (Stuttgart, Germany), D. Whitmore (Stuttgart, Germany) and an anonymous referee made valuable comments and corrections on the manuscript, for which we are grateful. This study was supported in part by JSPS KAKENHI Grant Number No. 23570119 to TT.

N2 - The genus Blepharella Macquart belongs to the tribe Goniini of the Tachinidae (Diptera). Three new species of this genus are described from Japan (B. bomolocha sp. nov., B. grisescens sp. nov., and B. yaeyamana sp. nov.) and B. nigra Mesnil is redescribed. Blepharella tenuparafacialis Chao & Shi is synonymized with the type species B. lateralis Macquart, syn. nov. and the male and female terminalia of B. lateralis are described and illustrated. The microtype eggs of B. bomolocha, B. nigra and B. lateralis are illustrated for the first time.
