A new species of Gonatopus, G. tagoi sp. nov., is described from Japan. Previously uncertain species, Agonatopus gracilis Esaki & Hashimoto, 1932 is redescribed based on newly collected females. Currently A. gracilis is included in Gonatopus, however, the name Gonatopus gracilis is preoccupied by Kieffer, 1905. Therefore, Gonatopus gigantostratiotes nom. nov. is provided as a replacement name. An updated key to the females of Japanese Gonatopus is given.

<p>In December 2021, an unknown new genus and species of aphaenopsoid Trechini were discovered in Okinawa Island, Japan. In this project, we conducted a taxonomic study of this new species and described and published it as <i>Ryukyuaphaenops pulcherrimus</i> Sugaya, Kakizoe, Ooka, Tamura & Sone, 2023. Additional field surveys and elucidation of genetic population structure were also conducted from the perspective of conservation biology. The collection of DNA samples for phylogenetic and population genetic analyses of Japanese subterranean insects, such as Trechini, has lagged behind significantly due to the difficulty of field surveys. Therefore, in this study, we improved methods for surveying subterranean bait traps and well water to collect DNA samples of Japanese Trechini and other subterranean insects, and conducted field surveys in Hokkaido, Kyushu, and Okinawa. As a result, we succeeded in collecting 25 genera DNA samples out of 32 genera of Trechini from Japan and other subterranean organisms, and proceeded with DNA sequencing. This paper describes the obtained results and future prospects, focusing on the taxonomic results of <i>R. pulcherrimus</i>, which have already been published among the above results.</p>

Aculeata bees and wasps（Chrysidoidea, Vespoidea, and Apoidea）play important roles in ecosystem functions such as pollination, food web control, and natural enemy control. Information on their distribution is needed to understand the changes in Aculeata fauna, especially due to climatic and environmental changes. The Aculeata fauna of Kyushu is poorly surveyed, and recorded taxa are biased even in Kagoshima Prefecture, where surveys have been relatively conducted well. In this study, we provided the occurrence data of Aculeata in the Takakuma Experimental Forest, Kagoshima University, and the Osumi National Forest. We collected Aculeata in different seasons using yellow pan traps and identified a total of 494 individuals belonging to 67 species, 5 of which were recorded from Kyushu for the first time. Species that appear to be unique to lowland broad-leaved forests were obtained（e. g. Epyris shohki）．Surveys at these lowland forests could contribute to a better understanding of the Aculeata fauna of Kyushu.

Cultivated Japanese pear varieties, mostly showing self-incompatibility, require pollen transfer from other varieties. To elucidate the underlying mechanisms of open Japanese pear insect pollination, we first collected flower-visiting insects using plastic vials and sticky traps in orchards located at different regions in Japan. Results showed that insects assigned to the families Andrenidae (Hymenoptera), Apidae (Hymenoptera), Halictidae (Hymenoptera), Syrphidae (Diptera) and Empididae (Diptera) are abundant in the orchards. Second, we restricted the flower-visiting insects to access Japanese pear flowers using bags with mesh sizes of 0, 2 and 3.5 mm. Results indicated that insects which allowed to pass through bags with 3.5-mm mesh size but not through bags with 2-mm mesh size contribute primarily to pollination, represented as the fruit-set ratio and seed number. Third, we measured head and thorax widths of the flower-visiting insects and counted pollen grains on their body surfaces to estimate their pollination potential. Results indicated that insects assigned to the families Andrenidae, Halictidae, Syrphidae, Bibionidae (Diptera) and Muscidae (Diptera), including species with both widths smaller than 3.5 mm, harbour large quantities of Pyrus pollen grains, in addition to Apis mellifera (Apidae) with both widths greater than 3.5 mm. Consequently, the families Andrenidae, Apidae, Halictidae and Syrphidae might be the most important insect families for Japanese pear pollination. However, species identification of the flower-visiting insects showed no common key species that contribute remarkably to pollination services other than A. mellifera. Consecutive insect collection using plastic vials and sticky traps demonstrated that compositions of the flower-visiting insects are fluctuating continuously in the orchards. Nevertheless, year-to-year fluctuation of the fruit-set ratio was less pronounced in open-pollinated orchards than in hand-pollinated orchards. These results suggest that mutual complementation among diverse pollinator species might be the mechanism underlying open Japanese pear insect pollination.

The female and male of Sclerogibba berlandi Benoit, 1963 (Hymenoptera: Sclerogibbidae), collected in Abu Dhabi (United Arab Emirates) and characterized by a pronounced sexual dimorphism, were associated for the first time by mitochondrial COI sequences. A comparison with COI sequences of S. crassifemorata Riggio &amp; De Stefani-Perez, 1888 and S. talpiformis Benoit, 1950 from Abu Dhabi proved the diversity of S. berlandi. The COI sequence of a female of S. rossi Olmi, 2005 from Japan, Okinawa-jima, was analyzed for the first time and compared with the other sequences.

Climate change can degrade a community of Aculeata bees and wasps with important ecosystem roles, such as pollination and predation. In this study, we evaluated patterns in the species, functional, and phylogenetic diversity (PD) of Aculeata communities along elevational gradients in Miyazaki Prefecture, south of the Japanese archipelago. We used yellow pan traps to collect Aculeata at 200-1600 m above sea level for three seasons. We tested five functional traits (body size, trophic level, feeding guild, flight duration, and elevational range) and horizontal distribution of the species. The species diversity (SD) increased with increasing elevation. Body size, trophic level, and distribution diversity increased with increasing elevation. The community-weighted mean trophic level and flight duration decreased with increasing elevation. PD increased with increasing elevation. The number of northern species increased with increasing elevation. Trophic structure and high seasonal segregation by shortening flight duration should promote high SD at high elevation. The results of PD suggest that geographical barriers preventing the southern species migration decreased SD at low elevations. Community degradation in the lowlands can occur with geographical barriers that limit north-south migration. We show that evaluations of functional traits and phylogeny can reveal the mechanisms underlying community assembly at our sites, where both environmental and geographical conditions affect community assembly.

Methocha taoi Lin, 1966 is newly synonymized under Methocha areolata Lin, 1966. The genus Karlissa Krombein, 1979 is newly recorded from Taiwan, and a new combination is proposed for Methoca (sic!) tricha Strand, 1913, which is transferred to the genus Karlissa Krombein. A key to the species based on males and females is given.The genus Methocha Latreille, 1804 is an ectoparasitoid of tiger beetle larvae (Carabidae, Cicindelinae). Currently, 54 species are known from the Oriental region (Krombein, 1982; Tsuneki, 1986; Agnoli, 2011; Terayama & Mita, 2015; Narita & Mita, 2018). Although species diversity has been poorly surveyed, Taiwan is the most diverse area in the Oriental region with 12 known species (Strand, 1913; Williams, 1919; Lin, 1966; Tsuneki, 1986). However, diagnostic characters among Taiwanese species are variable (i.e., the angle of the clypeal process) and the surface sculpture of propodeum, the most important diagnostic characters in males, is unclear. Therefore, it is necessary to reevaluate and redescribe the known species. As with other Aculeata Hymenoptera showing great sexual dimorphism like Bethylidae and Dryinidae (Azevedo, et al. 2016; Mita et al. 2017), the sex association of Methocha species is almost impossible without data from

Sclerogibbid wasps are obligate parasitoids of webspinners (Embiodea). Both groups have a particularly scarce geological record and arc known since the Cretaceous: them am only four species of webspinners known from Burmese amber, and only two sclerogibbids were described from Barremian Lebanese and Cenomanian Burmese ambers. Here we report transferred genus from Aptian Choshi (Japan) amber and new sclerogibbids from Cenomanian Burmese and Charentese (France) ambers. The taxa described from Burmese amber are: Burrnascterogibba apt era gen. el sp. nov., Cretoscterogibba gen. nov. (with C. antennalis sp. nov., C. contractocollis sp. nov., C. neli sp. nov. and C. rasnitsyni sp. nov.) and Edrossia vetusta gen. et sp. nov. The first European fossil sclerogibbid Gallosclerogibba alnensis gen. et sp. nov. is described from Charentese amber. The holotype of Chosia yamadai Fujiyama, from Choshi amber, is re-described; it appears to be the oldest Laurasian sclerogibbid. The significant abundance and variety of Burmese sclerogibbid wasps (60% of fossil species known worldwide), as proxy of their hosts, were probably caused by the protection granted to them by the silk webs and possibly by the limited predation from omithuromorph birds or crown-group ants. While all three extant sclerogibbid genera have apterous females, genera with winged females (Creto.sclerogibba and Edrossia) dominated in Burmese amber. Small silk galleries from hosts may have favored the preservation of wings in females of Cretaceous sclerogibbids. Most new species described in the present paper, in addition to C. yamadai, are characterized by a very slender neck and a very long frontal process concealing the antennal toruli. These characters disappeared in extant species. We suggest that this loss was caused by a change in the fauna of predators, penalizing species with long neck and rostrum.

Members of the genusAnagyrusare primary endoparasitoids of mealybugs and thus include potentially important biological control agents of mealybug pests. We have previously discovered that an analogous compound of a mealybug pheromone, cyclolavandulyl butyrate (CLB), strongly attractsAnagyrus sawadaiIshii and can enhance the foraging activity of this wasp in CLB-treated orchards. In the present study, we found two groups ofAnagyrusparasitoids that differed in color were attracted to CLB. One wasA. sawadaiand the other type was morphologically identified asA.subalbipesIshii, which had been considered to be synonymous withA. sawadai. We suspected these two color populations ofAnagyrusmust be independent species because of their different emergence patterns in the field. Our morphological and molecular analyses supported this idea. We confirmed morphologically diagnostic features to distinguish the two species. Furthermore, molecular phylogenetic analysis based onCOIsequences revealed thatA. sawadaiandA.subalbipeswere placed in entirely different clusters. These findings not only offered new insight into the taxonomy and phylogeny ofAnagyrusspp. but also provided critical knowledge for the use of these indigenous natural enemies for biological control of mealybugs in agricultural fields.

Information of species distribution is important for understanding changes in fauna due to future climate and environmental changes. However, the distribution record of Aculeata in Kyushu is extremely poor, especially in the high altitude. In this survey, we recorded distribution of Aculeata in Shiiba research forest, Kyushu Univ. and Kashiba National forest including high altitude area. We collected Aculeata wasps by yellow pan trap in different seasons. A total of 135 species and 1169 individuals were collected, and 12 of which were the first recorded species in Kyushu. It is assumed that the yellow pan trap method was efficient in collecting the major Aculeata species in the area. However, other methods of collection must be tried to elucidate the entire fauna.

Diversity of Chrysidoidea
An overview of the families of Chrysidoidea distributed in Japan is given. As a common problem for each family, it is difficult to match males and females because of their sexual dimorphism and often their rareness. Due to changes in our lifestyle and land use, the abundance of some taxa has reduced compared to the past. On the other hand, several taxa previously seldom reported, like Embolemus, have been found one after another. The knowledge of the fauna of Japan was greatly improved especially for major groups such as Bethylidae in recent years.

Compared with mycorrhizal relationships, the relationships between mycoheterotrophic plants and insects have rarely been studied. Here we report a previously unknown tripartite interaction among an endangered mycoheterotrophic orchid, an orchid-feeding fly, and a parasitoid wasp. The flowers and stems of Eulophia zollingeri were heavily attacked by Japanagromyza tokunagai (Sasakawa) (Diptera: Agromyzidae), and the parasitoid wasp Gronotoma guamensis (Yoshimoto) (Hymenoptera: Figitidae) was reared from these J. tokunagai individuals. Considering the high infestation rate of J. tokunagai, G. guamensis could be important in suppressing the J. tokunagai population, and positively affect the reproductive success of E. zollingeri.

Agromyzid flies, also known as leafminer flies, are one of the most serious insect pests that infest various plants. An agromyzid fly Japanagromyza tokunagai lays eggs in the ovaries of various Japanese orchids during or shortly after anthesis. Consequently, seed predation by J. tokunagai has the potential to severely limit the reproduction of many endangered orchids in Japan. While agromyzid populations tend to be suppressed by rich communities of natural parasitoids, such parasitoids have yet to be reported. Here we report Pediobius metallicus as the first record of a parasitoid of J. tokunagai. It is highly unusual to find parasitoids infesting J. tokunagai, possibly because the fly is protected by the thick wall and three-dimensional structure of orchid capsule. Pediobius metallicus may play an important role in suppressing J. tokunagai population at least in our study site.

Trissolcus basalis (Wollaston), a cosmopolitan egg parasitoid of Nezara viridula (Linnaeus), was newly discovered in Central Honshu and Kyushu, Japan. The morphological characteristics useful to identify Tr. basalis from other species of Trissolcus occurring in Japan were indicated. Partial mitochondrial COI gene sequences of samples obtained from Aichi to Fukuoka Prefectures almost completely correspond to those obtained from overseas retrieved from the DDBJ/Genbank database. The sequence of Tr. basalis was different by 13-17 % from Trissolcus species compared and Telenomus turesis (Dalman). Further field research is needed to clarify the impact of Tr. basalis on local parasitoid guilds.

A bethylid wasp is described as Neoapenesia makiharai n. sp. based on adults obtained from dead wood collected from the Ryukyus, Japan. The male is distinguishable from N. leytensis Terayama, the monotypic species of the genus, on the basis of the following characteristics: presence of short 2Rs vein, rounded propodeum, absence of sculpture on propodeum, widened subgenital plate, and apically rounded aedeagus. The female of Neoapenesia is described for the first time. Its morphological characteristics closely resemble those of Apenesia, but sex association was confirmed by the following facts: partial mitochondrial COI gene sequences (582 bp) of males and females were identical, and mating behavior was often observed. The female is easily distinguishable from females of Apenesia on the basis of the following characteristics: distinctly short antenna (not reaching posterior margin of head) and a disproportionately large head (head width about twice the dorsal pronotal width). Although females were active at night, males were active in the daytime and copulation was observed during this period. Since the female is larger than the male, phoretic copulation may not occur. Dead wood was collected and kept in plastic bags, from which a total of 16 species of coleopteran wood-borers and two predators were obtained together with N. makiharai n. sp. Many individuals of N. makiharai n. sp. were reared from dead wood severely affected by Cerecium longicorne and it was the most common species obtained from our wood samples. Therefore, the cerambycid species is considered a potential host species.

Genetic variation of two apterous wasps Haplogonatopus apicalis and H. oratorius (Hymenoptera: Dryinidae) in East Asia
The females of Haplogonatopus (Hymenoptera: Dryinidae) are wingless. Thus, the migration ability of adult wasps should be highly restricted. However, passive dispersal of larvae parasitizing their hosts may be possible. In this study we discuss the genetic variation of H. apicalis Perkins and H. oratorius (Westwood) in East Asia, from the perspective of the geographical distribution and the long-distance migration ability of their hosts, using 807 bp of mitochondrial COI gene sequences. Genetic variation of H. apicalis parasitizing Sogatella furcifera (Horvath) was examined on the basis of individuals from western Japan, southern China, and northern Vietnam. High genetic diversity was observed but geographical populations were not recognized. For H. oratorius parasitizing Laodelphax striatellus (Fall,n), individuals from the northern and southern coasts of eastern Japan, western Japan, eastern China, and Taiwan were examined. The southern coast of eastern Japan population was discriminated from the other populations, and three core haplotype groups moderately associated with geographical distribution were apparent. However, the population sampled at Hokuriku, located on the northern coast of eastern Japan, was composed of a mixture of haplotypes dominant in other locations, even geographically far separated from China. This may imply the occurrence of the migration pathway of L. striatellus from continental China toward eastern Japan. The results for two parasitoid species can be explained on the basis of the migration ability of the host species.

The family Megalyridae is recorded from Japan for the first time on the basis of two new species, Carminator helios and C. japonicus. This is the northernmost record of living Megalyridae, although fossil species are known from regions of the Baltic Sea. Carminator helios can be distinguished from congeners of the Asian and Australian regions by the combination of a long head, deeply excavated frons with convex inner margins, entirely striated postgena, the number of fore tibial spines ( more than 16), and a long R-1 vein. Carminator japonicus is distinguishable from other species by the combination of an orange-colored metasoma, a weakly excavated frons, and an elongate vertex. This species was collected from the canopy of Acer pictum. Additional characters that distinguish species of the genus Carminator are discussed.

農の博物館に収蔵されている甲虫目の担名タイプのすべてを,それぞれの学名,タイプの種類,性別とともに報告した。原著論文の記述によると,ハネカクシ科,クワガタムシ科,コガネムシ科,シバンムシ科,カミリキムシ科,ヒゲナガゾウムシ科に含まれる合計395種18亜種の担名タイプが保管されているはずだが,1950年以前に澤田玄正博士が記載したコガネムシ科の担名タイプは,第二次世界大戦の戦火と終戦後の混乱で失われたと考えられる。
All the name-bearing types of Coleoptera deposited in the Museum of Agriculture, Tokyo University of Agriculture (Atsugi Campus) are listed. According to the original descriptions, name-bearing types of 395 species and 18 subspecies in the families Staphylinidae, Lucanidae, Scarabaeidae, Anobiidae, Cerambycidae, and Anthribidae should be housed in the museum. However, none of the holotypes and syntypes of Scarabaeidae described before 1951 by Dr. H. Sawada can been found there. It is most probable that they were lost during or after the Second World War.
