Biology

Several limacodid moths have been recorded as hosts. Some of the moths are serious pests of palm trees in the Oriental Region (Gauld 1987[1], Mariau 1999[25]); hence, Chlorocryptus purpuratus is of economic importance as their natural enemy. The host records are summarized in Table 1.
In this study, we observed females collected in Osaka ovipositing into cocoons of Parasa consocia Walker (Fig. 1). They spent more than 30 min to penetrate the moth cocoons and to accomplish the oviposition.

Distribution

(Figs 57, 58). Japan (new record): Honshu, Tsushima Is. China: Beijing (He and Wang 1987[17]), Fujian (Chao 1976[10], Kellog 1938[5], Wang 2003[28]), Guangxi (He et al. 1992[20]), Guizhou (He et al. 1992[20], Wang and Yao 1993[22]), Hebei (Wang and Yao 1993[22]), Henan (Dang et al. 1991, Sheng and Sun 2009[33]), Hong Kong (Smith 1852[35]), Hubei (He and Chen 2006[31]), Hunan (Dang et al. 1991), Jiangsu (Uchida 1940[3]), Jiangxi (Chu et al. 1978[11], Ding et al. 2009[32], Sheng et al. 2013[34]), Shaanxi (Dang et al. 1991), Shandong (Chao 1976[10], He and Tian 1993[21]), Shanghai (Chao 1976[10], Xiao 1985[16]), Shanxi (Uchida 1952[7]), Sichuan (He et al. 1992[20]), Yunnan (Wang and Li 1987[18]), Zhejiang (Chao 1976[10], He et al. 2001[26], 2004[29]). Vietnam (new record). Malaysia: Sabah (Gauld 1987[1]). Indonesia: Java (Gauld 1987[1], Saxena 1978[36]), Sumatra (Gauld 1987[1]), Sulawesi (Szépligeti 1916[37]). India (Cameron 1903[38], Jonathan 2006[30], Saxena 1978[36], Szépligeti 1916[37]). Nepal (Saxena 1978[36]).

Remarks

Although this species shows a wide range of variation in density of the surface sculpture and setae, wing color (Figs 22–25), and shape of the subgenital plate (Figs 33–35), these variations are continuous. The specimens from Sulawesi, including the lectotype of Cryptaulax metallicus Szépligeti, have extensively dark wings (Fig. 25); however, we considered this an extreme end of the variation.
Jonathan (2006)[30] treated Chlorocryptus coeruleus Cameron and Chlorocryptus metallicus Cameron as distinct species. However, given his descriptions, they fall within the variation of Chlorocryptus purpuratus.
Despite these large intraspecific variations, this species is clearly distinct from Chlorocryptus coreanus with the above given diagnostic characters.
The distribution of Chlorocryptus purpuratus extends further south than that of Chlorocryptus coreanus although the distributions of both species largely overlap in China (Figs 58, 59). We do not know what determines such a difference in the distribution and whether the species compete or segregate where they co-exist. The host and habitat preferences might be different between the species, which may also be of practical interest in the biological control of the notorious limacodids on various trees.
This is the first record of Chlorocryptus purpuratus from Japan and Vietnam. Considering that Chlorocryptus purpuratus has never before been collected in Japan, most probably the Japanese populations have been introduced recently. Its potential hosts, limacodid moths, are abundant and some of them have been well studied as pests in Japan, including their natural enemies (Kaji 1979[39], Koike 1985[40], 1998[41], Komeda and Hisamatsu 2006, Minamikawa 1962[42], Oda and Uezumi 1978[43], Togashi 1981[44], Togashi and Ishikawa 1994[45], 1995[46], 1996[47], Toyomura 1970[48], Yuasa 1934[49]).
In 2012 and 2013, alongside the adults, we also collected two larvae in Parasa consocia cocoons in Osaka. This indicates that Chlorocryptus purpuratus has already been established in this area for two or three years.
One of the limacodid moths, Parasa lepida (Cramer), which had been originally distributed in South Asia, Southeast Asia, and southern China, invaded western Japan and became established in the late 1970’s (Oda and Hattori 1981[50], Higa and Kishimoto 1984[51]). It is probable that cocoons of Parasa lepida or other Limacodidae containing Chlorocryptus purpuratus were introduced accidentally in Japan with imported nursery trees.
The holotype of Neodontocryptus hyalina Saxena could not be located during the course of this study.
The holotype of the species was deposited in the V. K. Gupta collection, which was originally housed at the University of Delhi. Later, his collection was transferred to Florida, first to the University of Florida (Yu et al. 2012[52]) and finally to FSCA (Virendra K. Gupta, personal communication). Therefore, we expected that the holotype of Neodontocryptus hyalina would be at FSCA; however, only one paratype was located, whereas the holotype was not found (Jim Wily, personal communication).
The lectotypes of Cryptaulax cyaneus Szépligeti and Cryptaulax metallicus Szépligeti were designated by Townes et al. (1961)[2]. Five paralectotypes (two females and three males) of Cryptaulax cyaneus and one paralectotype (female) of Cryptaulax metallicus are preserved at HNHM together with their lectotypes (Gellért Puskás, personal communication). One female paralectotype of Cryptaulax metallicus is is preserved in the Uchida collection at SEHU, which he obtained probably after visiting HNHM during his study trip to Europe and the United States from 1937 to 1939 (Uchida 1940[3]).
