Introduction On November 17, 2014, the news that the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) added the Pacific Bluefin tuna (PBF) to its Red List of Threatened Species as “Vulnerable,” which meant that it was threatened with extinction, made headlines and received substantial TV coverage around Japan. After citing the IUCN’s comment that the species was extensively targeted by the fishing industry for the predominant sushi and sashimi markets in Asia, Mainichi Shimbun, one of the major newspapers in Japan, reported that the population was estimated to have declined by 19 to 33% over the past 22 years1. Nihon Keizai Shimbun, a leading Japanese economic newspaper, referring to the fact that the American eel was also added to the List as “Endangered,” pointed out that

Reconsiderations of Distribution and Taxonomic Status of Infraspecific Taxa in Sedum Japonicum (Crassulaceae) Based on Morphol

Taxonomically, S. japonicum subsp. japonicum (including two varieties) and S. japonicum subsp. oryzifolium (including two varieties) could be treated as an infraspecific taxon of S. japonicum. Meanwhile, S. japonicum subsp. uniflorum and S. japonicum subsp. boninense could be respectively treated as S. uniflorum and S. boninense. Biogeographically, S. japonicum subsp. oryzifolium var. oryzifolium could be considered to be distributed from the Ryukyu Archi- pelago northward of Amami Island to Fukushima in Japan, the southern part of the Korean Penin- sula and Jeju Island in South Korea, and northeastern Taiwan. Taiwanese plants were traditionally thought to be S. japonicum subsp. uniflorum, but could be treated as S.

Zootaxa, a Redescription of Torymus Sapporoensis
Zootaxa 2410: 53–58 (2010) ISSN 1175-5326 (print edition) www.mapress.com/zootaxa/ Article ZOOTAXA Copyright © 2010 · Magnolia Press ISSN 1175-5334 (online edition) A redescription of Torymus sapporoensis Ashmead and description of a new species of Torymus Dalman (Hymenoptera: Torymidae) parasitizing Paratephritis fukaii (Diptera: Tephritidae) in Japan KAZUNORI MATSUO Entomological Laboratory, Graduate School of Bioresource and Bioenvironmental Sciences, Kyushu University, Fukuoka, Japan. E-mail: [email protected] Abstract Torymus itoi Matsuo sp. nov. (Hymenoptera: Torymidae) is described as a parasitoid of Paratephritis fukaii Shiraki (Diptera: Tephritidae) which induces galls on the petioles and peduncles of Farfugium japonicum (L.) Kitam. (Asteraceae) in Japan. Torymid specimens that were previously identified as T. sapporoensis Ashmead in Ito (1947) are identical with T. itoi, which is shown to be different from T. sapporoensis. To complement the insufficient original description, T. sapporoensis is redescribed based on the holotype. Key words: Torymus itoi, fruit fly, Farfugium japonicum, gall Introduction The genus Torymus Dalman (Torymidae: Toryminae) contains about 400 species worldwide of which 14 have been recorded from Japan (Grissell 1995; Noyes 2003; Matsuo & Yukawa 2009a, 2009b). Previously, six species were known to attack fruit flies in the Holarctic Region (Grissell 1995; Graham & Gijswijt 1998). Fruit flies include many pest species that infest a wide variety of fruit, particularly in tropics and subtropics. Therefore, taxonomic studies of their parasitoids, such as torymids, are essential in their control. Farfugium japonicum Kitam. (Asteraceae) is a perennial plant, which is distributed in Japan (except Hokkaido), Taiwan, and eastern parts of China (Iwatsuki et al. 1995).

Q- Kagoshima Scenic Byways
Travel Guide of Scenic Byway Kyushu Q-❻ Kagoshima Scenic Byways Cities of Kagoshima, Ibusuki, MinamiKyushu, MinamiSatsuma, and Makurazaki （Kagoshima Pref.）—Active Volcano, Shirasu Plateau & Sub-tropical Zone, Leading Activities toward Meiji Era ― Kagoshima Prefecture in the southern Kyushu has Kagoshima Bay in the center. In addition, the Osumi Peninsula is located on the east side of the bay, and the Satsuma Peninsula, on the west side. Under such terrain conditions, areas related to Kagoshima Scenic Byways extends from Sakurajima in the bay to the southern part of the Satsuma Peninsula. As shown in the map, it is composed of five cities: Kagoshima, Minami-Kyushu, Ibusuki, Makurazaki, and Minami-satsuma, and belongs to the Kirishima Kinkowan National Park in the subtropical region. (Note: “Kinkowan” is another name for Kagoshima Bay). The most important resource common to the entire Kagoshima Scenic Byway is the active volcano lined up at the Kyushu Volcano Front, that extends from Kagoshima Bay. Hot water gushes from the submarine volcano “Wakamiko” in the back of the bay, and bubbles sometimes appear. In addition, steam smoke from Sakurajima volcano can be seen almost every day. The average number of eruptions in the last 10 years is about 590 times a year. We are often amazed by the sound of explosion and bothered by the fall of volcanic ash (see the right Photo (1)). Q-❻ Map of Kagoshima Scenic Byways Mt. Kaimon-dake is located at the entrance of the bay, and the crater at the summit is covered like a hat by the second eruption at the end of the 9th century and looks like Mt.
