Habenaria属是最大的兰花属之一，尽管它分布广泛，但其主要的多样性中心在巴西、东亚和非洲中部和南部。尽管其多样性，人们对该属的传粉者知之甚少，但迄今为止发表的少数报告表明，Habenaria主要由飞蛾授粉。在日本奈良县，我们报道了昼行跳蛛Pelopidas mathias可以作为辐射Habenaria种群的传粉者。以前的报道表明，福冈县的另一种昼行蝶，Parnara guttata，是H. radiata的传粉者之一。在相隔约600 km的辐射黄粉蝶种群中，有2只斑蝶为其传粉，这有力地证明了辐射黄粉蝶是辐射黄粉蝶的主要传粉媒介之一。
The genus Habenaria is one of the largest orchid genera, and although it has a broad distribution, its main centers of diversity are in Brazil, eastern Asia, and central and southern Africa. Despite its diversity, little is known about the pollinators of this genus, but the few published reports to date indicate that Habenaria sp. are mainly pollinated by moths. Here we report that the diurnal skipper Pelopidas mathias can act as a pollinator for the population of Habenaria radiata in Nara Prefecture, Japan. Previous reports have shown that another diurnal skipper, Parnara guttata, is one of the pollinators of H. radiata in Fukuoka Prefecture. The observation that two butterflies from the family Hesperiidae transfer pollinia for populations of H. radiata separated by approximately 600 km provides strong evidence that H. radiata utilizes diurnal skippers as one of its main pollinators.
