A total of 11 species, comprising nine insects and two mites, were recognized as pests pepino plants in our experimental fields Kanagawa Prefecture, central Honshu, Japan. Of these pest the two-spotted spider mite Tetranychus urticae Koch, 1836 cotton aphid Aphis gossypii Glover, 1877, remarkably abundant than other species. Eventually, 13 including previously recorded, are currently With regard to viruses, we tested species Alfalfa mosaic virus (AMV) Cucumber (CMV), well three genera...
The Heteroptera, or true bugs, forms one of the major insect groups with respect to very diverse habitat preferences, including both aquatic and terrestrial species, as well a variety feeding types. first comprehensive inventory Heteroptera at Komaba Campus University Tokyo, an urban green space in center Tokyo Metropolis, Japan, was conducted.A total 115 species 29 families suborder were identified. area had high richness compared other urbanized suburbanized localities Tokyo. campus is...
This is the first record of this species from Okinawa-honto Island as northernmost locality. Furthermore, an apparently discontinuous intraspecific variation in coloration has been confirmed between populations Yaeyama and Islands; reported for time genus Tiarodes Burmeister, 1835, which comprises approximately 90 species.
To date, the stink bug species Caystrusorientalis Zhang and Lin, 1985, was known to occur only in China. A as “ Caystrus sp.” Neodinus Japan has been identified C.orientalis , which recorded from for first time.
The thread-legged assassin bug genus Proguithera Wygodzinsky, 1966 of the emesine tribe Leistarchini (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Reduviidae) is recorded from Japan for first time, and a new species P. kiinugama sp. nov., third representative this genus, described based on specimens Ishigaki-jima Island in Ryukyu Islands. This can be distinguished its congeners primarily by absence median longitudinal sulcus anterior pronotal lobe, forewing with an incomplete cross vein connecting M+Cu...
The lace bug genus Heissiella Péricart, 1984 (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Tingidae) is recorded from Japan for the first time, and a new species, which has been as ‘Tingis (Tropidocheila) sp.’ or shaowuana Drake & Maa, 1953’ (misidentification) by previous authors, described under name of H. donguri sp. nov. This species was found on leaves Quercus gilva Blume (Fagaceae) in laurilignosa ecosystem Honshu Kyushu, extending known distribution range into Palaearctic Region. host plant...
Although the Japanese species of Urostylididae are interest to not only heteropteran taxonomists, but also public, an illustrated key for all family from country is lacking. To date, urostylidid Urostylishubeiensis Ren, 1997, has been known occur in China and Korea, Japan.Urostylishubeiensis recorded Japan first time represents easternmost occurrence this species. In Japan, it inhabits broad-leaved forest Tsushima Island was found on Quercusacutissima Carruth. (Fagaceae). An occurring provided.
The identity of Metochus abbreviatus Scott, 1874 (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Rhyparochromidae: Rhyparochrominae: Rhyparochromini) is clarified based on reexamination the lectotype. subjective synonymy Dieuches kreyenbergi Breddin, 1906 with M. confirmed. following new synonymies are proposed: Rhyparochromus erosus Walker, 1872 = 1874, syn. nov. holsti Distant, 1918, Bibliographies names provided and it demonstrated that name in prevailing usage. Reversion to senior Rh. considered be...
Two assassin bug genera, Nagustoides Miller, 1954 of Harpactorinae and Stenolemus Signoret, 1858 Emesinae (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Reduviidae), are recorded from Japan for the first time, with presence representative species N. lii Zhao, Cai & Ren, 2006 S. alikakay Rédei Tsai, 2010. Distribution ranges two revised by present finding.
Biological invasion has been a serious global threat due to increasing international trade and population movements. Tracking the source route of invasive species evaluating genetic differences in their native regions have great significance for effective monitoring management, further resolving mechanism. The spotted lanternfly
The predatory stink bug genus Picromerus Amyot & Serville, 1843 (Hemiptera, Heteroptera, Pentatomidae, Asopinae) comprises 11 species found in the Northern Hemisphere. In Japan, two have been recorded to date. However, an easy-to-understand identification method, such as illustrated key, is lacking. Currently, Picromerusgriseus (Dallas, 1851) has Bangladesh, Bhutan, China, Indonesia, Myanmar, Pakistan and Taiwan, but not Japan.Picromerusgriseus was Japan for first time, based on a single...
To further increase the basic knowledge regarding establishment of pest control for pepino (Solanum muricatum Ait.), we conducted surveys pests in Japan. Thirty-four insect and four mite species were recognized as plants present study. Including results previous studies, a total 41 insects mites have been reported Three species, namely onion thrips (Thrips tabaci), two-spotted spider (Tetranychus urticae), cotton whiteflies (Bemisia are likely most important plants, because they collected...
The assassin bug, Sphedanolestes impressicollis (Hemiptera: Reduviidae), is widely distributed in East Asia. It an ideal model for evaluating the effects of climatic fluctuation and geographical events on distribution patterns Asian reduviids. Here, we used two mitochondrial genes one nuclear gene to investigate phylogeographic pattern bug based comprehensive sampling China, Japan, South Korea, Vietnam, Laos. High levels genetic differentiation were detected among geographic populations...
The nasalis musculocutaneous sliding flap developed by Rybka and the myocutaneous axial with lateral pedicle reported Martire associates are extremely useful for reconstruction of nasal tip surrounding area, respectively. We have modified method into an operative procedure that can be easily employed. By confirming blood flow artery preoperatively Doppler probing, was made smaller to facilitate mobilization flap. Furthermore, this could a reversed-flow when indicated.
Abstract Few electron optical inventions have revolutionized the TEM/ STEM as profoundly spherical aberration (Cs) corrector has. Characterization of technologically important materials increasingly needs to be done at atomic or even sub-atomic level. This characterization includes determination structure well structural chemistry. With Cs correctors, sub-Angstrom imaging barrier has been passed, and fast scale spectroscopy is possible. In addition improvements in resolution, correctors...
The Asian eccritotarsine plant bug genus Ernestinus Distant is diagnosed, redescribed and discussed, on the basis of reevaluation effective taxonomic characters including genitalic structures both sexes as well unique biology. Nineteen congeners are now known, a dozen new species herein described from Indonesia (from Sundaland to Wallacea), SW Japan, Laos, Nepal, Taiwan, Thailand Vietnam. All were observed inhabit leaves (mostly abaxial surfaces) Araceae monocots (particularly subfamily...
