“…Kino and Oshima (1978) extracted the allergen from caddisflies for the first time in Japan, and the immediate hypersensitivity to caddisfly was tested in randomly selected 54 patients with bronchial asthma. Ogino et al (1990) reported intradermal skin tests with extracts from caddisfly, and 9 (11.3%) of 80 nasal allergic patients showed positive reactions to caddisfly allergen. Seasonal fluctuations of specific IgE antibodies to caddisfly appeared to be similar to those of atmospheric caddisfly allergens (Kino et al, 1987).…”

There are few reports of caddisfly fauna in Kamikochi because the location is a special protection zone in the national park. The objective of this study is to clarify the species composition of adult caddisflies by a light trap in Kamikochi. In addition, previous records are reviewed in accordance with the objective of this study. The abundance of adult caddisflies was monitored using a light trap late in May of 2010, late July and September in 2011, and mid-May in 2012. We collected 97 adults representing 20 species of caddisflies in the Myojin area of Kamikochi during the investigation periods. Asynarchus sachalinensis Martynov was the dominant species (21.6%), followed by Neophylax japonicus Schmid (20.6%) and Lepidostoma crassicorne (Ulmer) (11.3%). The present study collected 15 species of caddisflies newly recorded from Kamikochi.
