The genus Kishii (Coleoptera, Elateridae, Agrypninae), a junior synonym of the genus Fleutiaux (Coleoptera, Elateridae, Elaterinae), with review of the Japanese species.

The genus Kishii, 1966 was established as a member of the subfamily Conoderinae Fleutiaux, 1919 (now tribe Oophorini Gistel, 1848; subfamily Agrypninae Candèze, 1857) based on . The genus was suggested to be unlikely to belong to Agrypninae because it lacks diagnostic features of the Agrypninae. However, there are no taxonomic treatments for the genus or species.

Consequently, the genus was found to be a junior synonym of the genus Fleutiaux, 1928 and was found to be a junior synonym of (Lewis, 1894). We review all species of in Japan and provide a key to species.
