Abstract. A new species of Dolichopodidae, Nematoproctus kumazawai sp. nov., is described from Japan. The new species is close to N. longifilus Loew, 1857 and can be distinguished from the latter by the mostly yellow antenna, yellow palpus, mid femur without ventral hairs, triangular cercus with the apex reaching the base of abdominal segment 4, and the apical part M almost straight.
Key words: Dolichopodidae, Nematoproctus, Palaearctic, Japan, new species
