Four olethreutine species, including two new species described herein, are associated with the fruits and seedlings of Rhizophoraceae in the Ryukyu Islands: Cryptophlebia horii Kawabe feeds on Bruguiera gymnorhiza (L.) Lam.; C. amamiana, sp. nov. feeds on Kandelia candel (L.) Druce; C. palustris, sp. nov. feeds on Rhizophora mucronata Lam.; and Eucosma coniogramma Clarke (= Eucosma okubiensis Kawabe, syn. nov, herein newly established as a junior synonym) feeds on Bruguiera gymnorhiza. Adults, larvae, and genitalia are diagnosed and illustrated for each species, and geographic distribution and information on biology are provided. In addition, we discuss Cryptophlebia species associated with mangroves worldwide, host preference, and adaptations to the mangrove environment.

In this paper, we revised the physopeltine genus Physopelta Amyot & Serville, 1843 (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Largidae) from Japan, Korea, and Taiwan. Five species were recognized and diagnosed, including two new species, Ph. (Neophysopelta) lutaspidata sp. nov. from northern and central Taiwan and Ph. (N.) fusciscutellata sp. nov. from the Ryukyu Islands, Japan and Taiwan, and three known species, Ph. (N.) gutta gutta (Burmeister, 1834), Ph. (N.) parviceps Blöte, 1931, and Ph. (N.) quadriguttata Bergroth, 1894. Physopelta (Neophysopelta) fusciscutellata sp. nov., was previously regarded as either of the two species, Ph. (N.) cincticollis Stål, 1863 and Ph. (N.) parviceps, for populations from Taiwan. Previous records of Ph. (N.) cincticollis from Japan proper and Korea, and Ph. (N.) slanbuschii (Fabricius, 1787) from the Ryukyu Islands were considered as misidentifications of Ph. parviceps. A key to facilitate the identification of the five species known in Japan, Korea, and Taiwan is provided. Additionally, Ph. (N.) parviceps is recorded from China (Guangdong Province and Zhejiang Province) for the first time.

Two lace bug genera, Baeochila Drake & Poor, 1937 and Idiocysta China, 1930 (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Tingidae) are recorded from Japan for the first time, and two new species, B. horvathi sp. nov. and I. takarai sp. nov., are described. The former was collected from the vines of Hedera rhombea (Miq.) Bean (Araliaceae) and the bark of Trachycarpus fortunei (Hook.) H.Wendl. (Arecaceae) in suburbanized areas of Honshu, Shikoku and Kyushu, and the latter was collected from the leaves of Freycinetia formosana Hemsl. (Pandanaceae) in the laurilignosa ecosystem of the Ryukyu Islands. The distribution ranges and host plant relationships of the two new species are discussed. Keys to all species of the two genera and photographs of living individuals for the new species are also presented.

Two new species of the crab genusActumnusDana, 1851 (family Pilumnidae) are reported from the Ryukyu Islands, southwest Japan.Actumnus tsurukaiisp. nov. is similar toA. squamosus(De Haan, 1835),A. setifer(De Haan, 1835) andA. forficigerus(Stimpson, 1858) in possessing a poorly defined dorsal surface of the carapace with a coat of short setae, but differs in having relatively larger, fewer and more widely spaced conical granules or tubercles on the outer surfaces of the palms of both chelipeds.Actumnus uformissp. nov. is similar toA. dorsipesStimpson, 1858 andA. granotuberosusGarth & Kim, 1983 in having a prominently areolated dorsal surface of the carapace with a soft thick tomentum, but can be distinguished by the stronger areolation and the distinctly U-shaped protogastric region.

AbstractTwo new species of potamid freshwater crabs of the genus Geothelphusa are described from the Ryukyu Islands in southern Japan. Although both G. shokitai sp. nov. and G. minei sp. nov. are allied to G. candidiensis (type locality Taiwan), they differ from that species and from each other in the form of their carapaces, ambulatory leg proportions, and structure of their male first pleopods.

Two New Species

Two new species of pinnotherid crabs of the genus Indopinnixa Manning & Morton, 1987, are described from Kume andOkinawa islands, Ryukyu Islands, Japan. The new species are distinguished from congeners as well as allied Pinnixa species by a combination of characters of the carapace, male abdominal somites, ambulatory legs, and/or male first gonopod.

Antennular Peduncle

Two new species of Pagurixus Melin, 1939, P. pulcher and P. longipes, are described from the submarine caves of the Ryukyu Islands, southwestern Japan. These species belong to the different informal species group of the genus characterized by the presence or absence of two distinct, longitudinal rows or series of setae on the ventral surface of the antennular ultimate segment. Pagurixus pulcher is most closely allied to P. nomurai Komai & Asakura, 1995, but is differentiated by the more slender ocular peduncles, setation on the ultimate segment of the antennular peduncle, and shape of the anterior lobe of the sixth thoracic sternite. The extremely long and slender carpus of the left cheliped and dactyli of the ambulatory pereopods clearly distinguish P. longipes from other species belonging to the species group characterized by the absence of longitudinal rows or series of setae on the ventral surface of the antennular ultimate segment.

Three species of the pagurid hermit crab genus Catapaguroides A. Milne-Edwards & Bouvier, 1892, all from Japanese waters, are reported. Catapaguroides fragilis (Melin, 1939) is redescribed on the basis of the holotype and additional material from southern Japan. Diagnostic characters of this poorly known species are fully assessed. Two new species, C. bythos and C. rubromaculatus, are described and illustrated on the basis of material from upper bathyal depths off the Ryukyu Islands. Catapaguroides rubromaculatus n. sp. resembles C. fragilis and C. hirsutus Komai & Rahayu, 2013, but the characteristic shape of the ocular peduncle and the elongate male right sexual tube with an anteriorly directed distal portion readily separate C. rubromaculatus n. sp. from the latter two congeners. Catapaguroides bythos n. sp. appears close to C. mortenseni de Saint Laurent, 1968 and C. pectinipes (Lewinsohn, 1969), but the different armature of the chelipeds distinguishes C. bythos n. sp. from the latter two allies. Catapaguroides is now represented by 30 species.

The Right

Two new hermit crab species of the family Paguridae, Turleania saliens n. sp. and T. tenebrosa n. sp., are described from coral reefs of the Ryukyu Islands, southwestern Japan. Reexamination of the holotype of Turleania balli (McLaughlin & Haig, 1996) has shown that it has only nine pairs of quadriserial gills. This feature is also found in the two new species but does not fit with the original diagnosis of Turleania McLaughlin, 1997. Simple emendation of the genus Turleania is made for the number of gills to accommodate these three species. The two new species are quite similar to E. balli, but distinguished by the armature of the carpus of the right cheliped and anterior lobe of the sixth thoracic sternite. Turleania tenebrosa differs from T. saliens in the right chela having distinct spines on the dorsolateral surface, and meri of the second pereopods unarmed on the distal 0.3 of the ventral surface.

Asian species of the genus Vespina Davis, 1972 (Lepidoptera, Incurvariidae) are mainly reviewed. Vespina meridiana Hirowatari & Yagi sp. nov. from the Ryukyu Islands, Japan, and Vespina sichuana Hirowatari, Huang & Wang sp. nov. from Sichuan, China, are described. The previously known Vespina species are associated with plants from the Fagaceae family on the western coast of the USA and East Asia and with Sapindaceae (Aceraceae) in eastern Europe. The two new species described here are associated with Fagaceae and Myricaceae, respectively, in warm temperate areas in Asia. Vespina nielseni Kozlov, 1987, which was only known from East Asia, is newly recorded from South China. A checklist for the genus is provided herein. Morphological information of the immature stages of the two new species is partially provided. The absence or reduction of a female frenulum and presence of approximately 20 thin pseudofrenular bristles, the dorsoventrally flattened pupa, and the minute tergal spines scattered on abdominal segments 3–8 are considered as possible autapomorphies of Vespina.
