The twisted-wing parasiteElenchus japonicusis a major parasitoid of rice planthoppers (Hemiptera: Delphacidae), including the brown planthopperNilaparvata lugens, the white-backed planthopperSogatella furcifera, and the small brown planthopperLaodelphax striatellus. AnotherElenchusspecies,E. yasumatsui, which is considered to be synonymous withE. japonicus, has also been described in southern Asia. However, limited biological and molecular data on this important parasitoid of rice planthoppers are available. In this study,E. japonicas-stylopized planthoppers were obtained from various regions in Asia and Japan. Sequences of the nuclear 18S ribosomal RNA gene and the mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase I gene of the strepsipterans were analyzed from 40 samples ofE. japonicus: 14 fromN. lugens, 6 fromS. furciferaand 20 fromL. striatellus. Sequence analysis of these samples revealed three genotypes ofE. japonicus. Of the three types ofE. japonicus, one was isolated only fromL. striatellusfrom northern Japan. The other two types were found in all three rice planthopper species collected from a wide area in Asia. These results suggest that the three different genotypes ofElenchuscan be associated with a particular geographical region and/or planthopper species. The relationship between two previously describedElenchusspecies and the present three genotypes needs to be elucidated.
