Mosquito collections were made at two foothill sites of Iriomote Island, the Ryukyu Archipelago, Japan, by modified CDC miniature light traps with a frog call CD player from June 12 to 18, 2004. A total of 777 and 257 female Diptera was collected at sites 1 and 2, respectively. Among them, 4 haematophagous species were predominant at sites 1 and 2-Uranotaenia macfarlanei with 580 (74.6%) and 193 (75.1%) individuals respectively, Ur. yaeyamana 19 (2.4%) and 27 (10.5%), and Corethrella nippon 106 (13.6%) and 20 (7.8%) which is a new record for Iriomote Island, and Mimomyia luzonensis with 39 (5.0%) individuals was predominant at site 1. The females of these species collected by the traps fed easily on a frog, Rana limnocharis exposed in the cage. The results demonstrated clearly that frog call is the primary stimulus in guiding these Culicine and Chaoborine flies in their search for host animals in nature.

The holotype of Sarcophaga asahinai Kano, 1962, which is now preserved in the National Science Museum, Tokyo, is examined and considered to be an aberrant male having vestigial aedeagus. The redescription was made based on the normal form found in the sarcophagid collections made by the late Dr. R. Kano on the same date in the same place as the holotype. The male genitalia of normal form are illustrated and compared with those of the related species of Myorhina Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830 subgenus Bellieriomima Rohdendorf, 1937. Myorhina (Bellieriomima) asahinai seems to be indigenous to Okinawa-Honto I. and very similar to Myorhina uniseta (Baranov, 1939) from the mainlands of Japan, but the detailed examination of male genitalia can distinguish both species. Dysparaphalla Rohdendorf, 1965 syn. n., which was proposed as a generic name for this species, becomes a junior synonym of Bellieriomima Rohdendorf, 1937.

The host animals of land leech Haemadipsa zeylanica var. japonica (Whitman) were surveyed among nine common mammals in forests and a human by the single strand conformation polymorphism of PCR products of the variable region in the 28S rRNA genes. When the leeches collected in 1995, 1996 and 2000 at Gojome-machi in Akita Prefecture were analyzed, the same banding patterns between the collected leeches and blood samples of the reference animals were only observed in the Japanese serow and copper pheasant or pheasant. The leeches collected in 1995 showed the highest resemblance rate with the serow and it was 86% (25/29), while the leeches collected in 1996 and 2000 showed 34% (11/32) and 12% (14/114), resemblance rate respectively. On the other hand, only a few numbers of leeches showed the same banding pattern with the copper pheasant or pheasant. These results indicate that the Japanese serow contributes to the propagation and spread of the leech in Akita Prefecture.

The number and species of triatomine bugs collected in houses in the State of Santa Cruz, Bolivia, where Chagas disease infection from mothers to infants is frequently reported, and the infection rate of Trypanosoma cruz in bugs are shown in this study. The result was that large numbers of Triatoma infestans were collected indoors, their infection rate of T. cruzi is extremely high, an average of 80.5%; suggesting that the infection cycle of Chagas disease occurs indoors. In addition, because the T. cruzi-IgG antibody-positive rate for humans in this region is also high at 84.0%, residents are surmised to be in danger of constant infection. In contrast, there are almost no triatomine bugs in dwellings in the northeastern portion of Brazil where infection from mothers to infants has not been reported; triatomine bugs were found only in sheds for animals. However, these triatomine bugs are zoophilic (e.g., feeding on birds) and their infection rate with T. cruzi was extremely low, so the risk of Chagas disease is thought to be extremely low.

A total of 131 female adults of seven black-fly species were captured in nine collections inside a bear shed in Kuju, Oita Prefecture, southwestern Japan, from May to August of 2000. Two bears in cages were used as attractants. Simulium (Nevermannia) uchidai (Takahasi) was the most abundant species followed by S. (Simulium) aokii (Takahasi), S. (S.) bidentatum (Shiraki) and S. (S.) nikkoense Shiraki. Natural infections with larvae of an unknown filaria species were found in five of 52 S. (N.) uchidai dissected. The number of larvae per infected fly ranged from 5 to 115. The infective larvae measured 490-590μm long by 16-19 μm wide which resembled those of Splendidofilaria, a genus parasitic in birds. This is the first report of a natural filarial infection in a species of the subgenus Simulium (Nevermannia).

Simulium (Simulium) manooni sp. nov. and S. (S.) doipuiense sp. nov. (formerly S. (S.) sp. E reported by Takaoka and Suzuki, 1984) are described based on reared female and male adult, pupal and larval specimens collected in northern Thailand. Both new species are assigned to the tuberosum species-group of the subgenus Simulium (Simulium) Latreille. Simulium (S.) manooni sp. nov. seems to be most closely related to S. (S.) ramosum Puri from India, while S. (S.) doipuiense sp. nov. is related to S. (S.) rufibasis fasciatum Puri also from India. The morphological differences between these new species and their known related species are noted.

Two black-fly species belonging to the genus Stegopterna, St. trigonium (Lundstrom) and St. takeshii sp. nov., are described based on the reared adults, pupae, and mature larvae collected from Tochigi Prefecture in Honshu, Japan. Stegopterna trigonium, widely distributed in the Holarctic Region, is recorded for the first time from Japan. Stegopterna takeshii sp. nov. is characterized by the 12 pupal gill filaments arranged in two groups (seven filaments in the dorsal group, and five filaments in the ventral group).

Two new species of Simulium Latreille s.l. are described based on specimens collected from Phop Phra, Tak Province, in northwestern Thailand. Simulium prayongi sp. nov. is assigned to the batoense species-group of the subgenus Gomphostilbia, and is characterized by the pupal gill composed of two inflated elements and eight slender filaments. Simulium takense sp. nov. is assigned to the multistriatum species-group of the subgenus Simulium s. str., and is easily distinguished in the pupa from other known species of this species-group by a combination of the shoe-shaped cocoon, the pupal gill with eight gill filaments widely divergent, and the presence of distinct spine-combs and terminal hooks on the 9th abdominal segment.

From 2001 to 2003, adults of Muscina angustifrons (Loew) were bred from 38 macrofungal species collected from a broad-leaved secondary forest, predominated with two oak species, Quercus serata and Q. variabilis, surrounding the campus of Kanazawa University, Kanazawa city, Ishikawa Prefecture, Japan. This fly species was reared most often from a macrofungal species belonging to the families of Russulaceae, Amanitaceae and Boletaceae that produce large fruit-bodies. The fly emerged from June to September with a peak in July, synchronizing its appearance period with that of the host macrofungi.

Ethanol extracts of some herbs showed strong repellency against the German cockroach, Blattella germanica, under laboratory conditions. Extracts of thirty-three herb species were applied to the surface of cockroach harborages made of 5cm×5cm plywood panels with a 5-mm single void. The majority (90% or more) of cockroach feces was deposited in non-treated harborages when an extract among dill (Anethum graveolens), celery (Apium graveolens), caraway (Carum carvi), cumin (Cuminum cymimum), coriander (Coriandrum sativum), cinnamon (Cinamomum zeylanicum), mace (Myristica fragrans) and chili pepper (Capsicum annuum) was treated on the other side of the harborage in the same arena. The repellent efficacy was sustained with all the above extracts for at least one month, and caraway, cinnamon, chili pepper and celery were effective at 80 times dilution with water. The herbs, anis (Pimpinella anisum), sansyo (Zathoxylum piperitum), onion (Allium cepa), vanilla (Vanilla planifolia), mustard (Brassica hirta) and eucalypt (Eucalyptus radiata), showed an attractant effect to the German cockroach by the same method.
