We evaluated the relative abundance of tipulids in the Nishina Three Lakes and Lake Suwa, Japan, by capturing adult flies with light traps set around the shores of the lakes. Of the 149 individuals collected, 49 species were identified, and we described 19 newly recorded genera around these lakes. We collected seven species of adults at Lake Suwa, 27 species at Lake Aoki, 19 species at Lake Nakatsuna, and 16 species at Lake Kizaki. The most abundant species were Antocha bifida, Gonomyia (Leiponeura) incompleta, and Gonomyia sp. However, the most abundant species of each lake differed. Only A. bifida was collected from all the lakes. We calculated the Shannon-Wiener diversity index to compare the tipulid fauna among the lakes. The diversity index was the highest at 4.24 in Lake Aoki (an oligotrophic lake) and the lowest at 2.81 in Lake Suwa (a hypereutrophic lake). These results suggest that the diversity and relative abundance of adult tipulid species may be useful biological indicators for water quality assessment.
