首次报道了Litoleptis幼虫的植食习性，并描述了日本6个Litoleptis新种； L. japonica n. 粳稻sp., L. kiiensis n. sp., L. niyodoensis n. sp., L. Himukaensis n. sp., L. izuensis n. sp. 和 L. asterellaphile n. sp。这里描述的所有物种都是属于 Aytoniaceae 和 Conocephalaceae （Marchantiopsida：Marchantiophyta）的苔类植物的叶状体矿工。每种蝇类只采集以下属之一的菌体：Conocephalum、Reboulia 和 Asterella。这里对日本 Litoleptis 物种的描述扩展了该属的概念。 Litoleptis 的雌性生殖器形态强化了 Litoleptis 目前作为 Spaniinae 成员的地位。
Here we report the larval phytophagous habit of Litoleptis for the first time, and describe six new species of Litoleptis in Japan; L. japonica n. sp., L. kiiensis n. sp., L. niyodoensis n. sp., L. himukaensis n. sp., L. izuensis n. sp., and L. asterellaphile n. sp. All the species described here are thallus-miners of liverworts belonging to Aytoniaceae and Conocephalaceae (Marchantiopsida: Marchantiophyta). Each fly species mined thalli of only one of the following genera: Conocephalum, Reboulia, and Asterella. The descriptions of the Japanese Litoleptis species here expand the concept of this genus. The female genital morphology of Litoleptis strengthened the current placement of Litoleptis as a member of Spaniinae.
