Research on the insect fauna of Vietnam -in relation to the East Asian fauna

从2001年到2003年，日本东京国立科学馆和河内生态生物资源研究所共进行了4次合作考察。我们在以下国家公园和自然保护区广泛调查了飞蛾、甲虫、蜘蛛、昆虫、蜻蜓、苍蝇等：沙坝、坝岛和桂芳（越南北部）；巴赫马（越南中部）；大叻和保禄（越南南部）。已发表论文31篇，分属鳞翅目（14篇）、鞘翅目（3篇）、半翅目（4篇）、翅目（4篇）、膜翅目（1篇）、蛛形目（3篇）、双翅目（1篇）、昆虫目（1篇）。在越南北部山区（沙巴和谭岛），我们能够收集到许多喜马拉雅山-日本昆虫。在越南中部的巴哈马国家公园，虽然热带山林很发达，但大部分是次生林，我们发现了一些与台湾物种有关的有趣昆虫，这些昆虫在越南北部没有分布。虽然越南南部的大部分山区都被种植为茶叶和咖啡种植园，但我们能够收集到许多昆虫，这些昆虫被认为是马来亚元素的成员。值得注意的是，原产于日本和中国南方的七爪蛛科（七爪蛛科）的原始蜘蛛不仅在越南北部山区发现，而且在越南南部山区也有发现。

Cooperative expeditions between the National Science Museum, Tokyo, and the Institute of Ecology and Biological Resources, Hanoi, were made four times from 2001 to 2003. We investigated extensively moths, beetles, spiders, bugs, dragonflies, flies, etc. at the following national parks and nature reserves : Sa Pa, Dam Dao and Cuc Phuong (northern Vietnam) ; Bach Ma (central Vietnam) ; Da Lat and Bao Loc (southern Vietnam).As the results of this research project, thirty-one scientific papers have been published or in printing in the following groups : Lepidoptera (14 papers), Coleoptera (3 papers), Hemiptera (4 papers), Odonata (4 papers), Hymenoptera (1 paper), Arachnida (3 papers, Diptera (1 paper), Insecta (1 paper).In northern mountains of Vietnam (Sa Pa and Tam Dao), we were able to collect many Himalayan-Japanese insects. At Bach Ma National Park, central Vietnam, where the tropical mountain forests were well developed, though most were secondary, we found some interesting insects related to Taiwanese species, which were not distributed in the northern Vietnam. Although most of southern Vietnamese mountains were cultivated as tea and coffee plantations, we were able to collect many insects, which are considered to be members of the Malayan element. It is worth noting that the primitive spiders of Heptathelinae (Liphistiidae), formerly known from Japan to southern China, were discovered not only from northern but also southern mountains of Vietnam by this cooperative survey.
