Abstract

Bembecia kaszabi(Căpuşe, 1973) is newly recorded from Kyushu, Japan. This record is the first discovery of the genus Bembecia from Japan. The figures of adults and genitalia, intraspecific variation(including the black form), and some aspects of the biology(e.g., the host plant in the Japanese habitat)are provided in addition to the sequence of the mtDNA COI barcode region.
