“…Of these, the Aegypti and Scutellaris groups have been recorded in Japan. Aedes aegypti (L.) is widely distributed throughout Africa, Asia, and North, Central, and South America and until 1930 was commonly found on Okinawa and Ishigaki Islands of the Ryukyu Archipelago; however, it has not been collected there since 1970 when adults were found on Ishigaki Island (Tanaka et al 1975, Toma et al 1983. Four species belonging to the Scutellaris group are know to occur in Japan, including the Ryukyu Archipelago.…”

Aedes (Stegomyia) flavopictus Yamada is widely distributed in Japan and Korea. The species comprises three subspecies based on current morphological taxonomy: Aedes flavopictus in the Palearctic region of Japan, Ae. f downsi Bohart & Ingram from Amami and Okinawa Islands, and Ae. f miyarai Tanaka, Mizusawa & Ingram from Ishigaki and Iriomote Islands of the Ryukyu Archipelago. These subspecies designations are based on observations of a combination of several morphological characters, none of which, by itself is diagnostic for discriminating among the three subspecies. To further study the relationships in this group, we examined the nucleic acid sequence divergence in the internal transcribed spacer regions (ITSI and ITS2) of the ribosomal DNA gene array of Ae. flavopictus individuals collected at five sites from three geographic regions in Japan. Analysis of sequence data by distance and maximum parsimony methods produced phylogenetic trees that showed separation of the specimens into three major clades, corresponding to both subspecies and geographic region. These results were consistent with and support the current classification and geographic distribution of the three subspecies.

An individual marking method by placing spots of paint at five different sites on the thorax of mosquitoes was applied and a short-term ecological study on movement of Ae. albopictus and Armigeres subalbatus was conducted during 18 to 27 March 2013 in a residential area on Ishigaki island, Japan. There were 2 preservation areas with vegetation, human dwellings, shops and buildings, and habitats of Ae. albopictus were distributed patchily in the study area of 230 m×250 m. Individual marking was carried out during the first 7 days, and 232 and 216 females of Ae. albopictus and Ar. subalbatus, respectively, were marked and released from 4 collection sites. The overall recapture rate of released females was significantly higher for Ae. albopictus (0.21=48/232) than Ar. subalbatus (0.09=20/216). The recapture rate of Ae. albopictus varied among collection sites. Analysis of the movements of released mosquitoes among collection sites indicated that the collection site inside the large preservation area was suitable for resting/searching Ae. albopictus and Ar. subalbatus and many females were accumulated through directional movements from the surrounding habitats. The individual marking method used in this study is applicable to field studies of the movements of Ae. albopictus and Ar. subalbatus.
