TARA GARIEPY, MASSIMO OLMI, ADALGISA GUGLIELMINO, TOSHIHARU MITA, DNA barcoding of Sclerogibbidae and confirmation of the opposite sexes of Sclerogibba berlandi Benoit (Hymenoptera: Sclerogibbidae), Zootaxa, 10.11646/zootaxa.5138.1.7, 5138, 1, 75-82, 2022.05, 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 & 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..

TOSHIHARU MITA, VILLU SOON, Chrysis tripotini Soon, 2010, new to Japan, with description of the male (Hymenoptera: Chrysididae), Journal of Insect Biodiversity, 10.12976/jib/2022.34.1.1, 34, 1, 1-4, 2022.07, Chrysis tripotini Soon, 2010 is reported from Honshu Island, Japan and the male is described for the first time. Among the chrysidid fauna of Japan, the male is most closely related to C. solida Haupt, 1956, but it can be distinguished by the combination of following characters: bidentate mandible; punctation on the metasomal tergite II..
8. Kazushige Uemori, Toshiharu Mita, Takuo Hishi, Changes in species, functional, and phylogenetic diversity of Aculeata communities along elevational gradients in the Kyushu Central Mountains of the Japanese archipelago, ECOLOGICAL RESEARCH, 10.1111/1440-1703.12242, 36, 5, 778-787, 2021.09, 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..

Massimo Olmi, Toshiharu Mita, Adalgisa Guglielmino, Massimo Vollaro, Gabor Vari, Application of DNA barcoding confirms the female, male, larva and host of Bocchus scobiolae Nagy (Hymenoptera: Dryinidae), ZOOTAXA, 10.11646/zootaxa.4969.3.8, 4969, 3, 563-572, 2021.05, Bocchus scobiolae Nagy (Hymenoptera: Dryinidae, Bocchinae) was reared in Szeged, Hungary. The female, male and immature larva were associated by mitochondrial COI sequences. B. scobiolae, previously known only from Romania, is recorded for the first time from Hungary, Moldova, and Turkey. Caliscelis wallengreni (Stal) (Hemiptera: Caliscelidae) is mentioned for the first time as host of B. scobiolae. B. vernieri Olmi is indicated for the first time from Hungary. Helegonatopus rasnitzyni (Trjapitzin, 1963) (Hymenoptera: Encyrtidae), recorded for the first time from Hungary, was.

Shoji Sonoda, Kiyohiko Kagawa, Yuki Furui, Ken Nakada, Mitsuko Koyama, Seishi Toda, Naoyuki Sugiura, Shoko Nakamura, Masahiro Sueyoshi, Toshiharu Mita, Masatoshi Toyama, Mutual complementarity among diverse pollinators as a mechanism underlying open insect pollination in Japanese pear orchards, JOURNAL OF APPLIED ENTOMOLOGY, 10.1111/jen.12967, 146, 5, 498-510, 2022.06, 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..

15. Keisuke Narita, Toshiharu Mita, A review of the subfamily Methochinae from Taiwan (Hymenoptera: Tiphiidae) with description of a new species and redescription of the known species, ZOOTAXA, 10.11646/zootaxa.4964.2.4, 4964, 2, 303-329, 2021.04, Eleven species of Methocha Latreille from Taiwan are revised. Methocha cirrhocrus Narita & Mita, sp. nov. is described and illustrated. The previously unknown male of M. maai Lin, 1966 is described. 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.

18. Evgeny E. Perkovsky, Kateryna Martynova, Toshiharu Mita, Massimo Olmi, Yan Zheng, Patrick Mueller, Qi Zhang, Flavie Gantier, Vincent Perrichot, A golden age for ectoparasitoids of Embiodea: Cretaceous Sclerogibbidae (Hymenoptera, Chrysidoidea) from Kachin (Myanmar), Charentes (France) and Choshi (Japan) ambers, GONDWANA RESEARCH, 10.1016/j.gr.2020.06.004, 87, 1-22, 2020.11, 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.

20. Yuma Sugawara, Toshiharu Mita, Jun Tabata, Takatoshi Ueno, Genetic and morphological approach to reappraising species validity in two different Anagyrus wasps (Hymenoptera: Encyrtidae) attracted by cyclolavandulyl butyrate, ENTOMOLOGICAL SCIENCE, 10.1111/ens.12409, 23, 2, 152-164, 2020.06, [URL], 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..

25. Kenji Suetsugu, Toshiharu Mita, First report that the wasp Gronotoma guamensis (Hymenoptera: Figitidae: Eucoilinae) parasitizes the orchid-feeding fly Japanagromyza tokunagai in Japan, ENTOMOLOGICAL SCIENCE, 10.1111/ens.12355, 22, 2, 194-197, 2019.06, 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..
26. Kenji Suetsugu, Toshiharu Mita, Pediobius metallicus (Hymenoptera: Eulophidae): First record of a parasitoid wasp of the agromyzid fly Japanagromyza tokunagai, a serious pest of orchids, JOURNAL OF ASIA-PACIFIC ENTOMOLOGY, 10.1016/j.aspen.2018.10.003, 21, 4, 1289-1291, 2018.12, 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..

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..

42. Hikaru Sawada, Mamoru Terayama, Toshiharu Mita, New species of Neoapenesia (Hymenoptera: Bethylidae) from Japan, with special remarks on female morphology and bionomics, ENTOMOLOGICAL SCIENCE, 10.1111/ens.12061, 17, 3, 324-329, 2014.07, 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..

They belong to two genera: Embolemus Westwood 1833 and Trogloembolemus Olmi, Mita et Guglielmino, gen. nov. (type species T. fujiei Olmi, Mita et Guglielmino, sp. nov.) Embolemus honshuensis Olmi, Mita et Guglielmino, sp. nov. (Japan, Honshu) and Trogloembolemus fujiei Olmi, Mita & Guglielmino, sp. nov. (Japan, Honshu) are described and figured. A key to the genera and species of Japan is presented. Trogloembolemus fujiei sp. nov., collected in the soil at a depth of two metres and almost blind, is the first species of Embolemidae with troglobitic habitus..
