Development of identification system of useful parasitic wasps and pollinating wild bees using metallic optical disk

本项目旨在建立金属光盘中有用天敌寄生蜂和传粉野蜂的图像数据库，并开发基于该数据库的识别系统。将日本蜂56属90种共713张影像存储在MOD中，并生成影像数据库文件TOBIKOBACHI。将学名、日文名称、采收地点、采收人、采收日期、性别、寄主名、采收植物名称、品种名称等13项文字记录在个人电脑硬盘中。可以使用图像识别标本，也可以使用文字数据检索标本。根据这些基本资料，对传粉野蜂和寄生蜂进行了分类研究：(1)发表了2篇关于海葵科Lasioglossum属的论文，在日本发现了6个新种；(2)发表了1篇关于海葵科Sudila属的论文，在东南亚发现了6个新种，其中1个新种；4)发表论文1篇，确认新同义词1个。5)发表论文1篇，报道新记录和新寄主记录1条。

The purpose of this projict is to produce image database on useful parasitic wasps as natuual enemies and pollinating wild bees in a metallic optical disk (MOD) and to deevelop an identification system based on the database. Seven hundred and thirteen images of Japanese Encyrtid wasps derived from 90 species belonging to 56 genera were stored in the MOD and produced image database file TOBIKOBACHI.The 13 literal items such as scientific name, Japanese name, collecting locality, collector, collecting date, sex, host name, plant name collected on, designation of type, etc. were also produced in a hard disk of personal computer. It is possible to identify a specimen using the images and also to retrieve by using literal data.Taxonomic studies on pollinating wild bees and parasitic wasps were conducted based on these basic data as follows : 1) two papers on the genus Lasioglossum belonging to Halictidae were published and 6 new species were described feom Japan. 2) a paper on the genus Sudila belonging to Halictidae was published and 6 species including one new species were recognized from southeast Asia. 3) two papers on the genus Andrena belonging to Andrenidae were published and 3 new species of the subgenus Simandrena, and 3 new species of Calomelissa were described from eastem Asia. 4) one paper on the genus Osmia belonging to Megachilidae was published and one new synonym was recognized. 5) one paper on the genus Blastothrix belonging to Encyrtidae was published and one new record with one new host record was reported.
