7C6287D6DE33FF9E3427FAB45A55A136.taxon	distribution	Distribution (Fig. 1). Japan (Miyakejima Island, Kyushu, Nakanoshima Island, Amamiôshima Island). Korea (Heuksando Island). Remarks. This is a rare species, so far known from only eight females from five distant localities (Shinohara et al., 2024 b). Here we examined 12 additional females listed above from four localities in Kyushu (Fig. 1). This species is of great interest for two reasons: its distribution and the puzzling behavior of the adults. The known distribution of this species is peculiar (Fig. 1), and as discussed by Shinohara (2020) and Shinohara et al. (2024 b), it may only be explained by dispersal through rafting by sea currents of logs containing the larvae. This species is likely to occur also in Shikoku and the Kii Peninsula in southwestern Honshu. The 12 specimens here recorded were collected on mountains at altitudes of 392 to 723 meters in the northern, central and southern parts of Kyushu (Fig. 1). Shinohara (2020, 2022) and Shinohara and Yamagishi (2024) pointed out that while other xiphydriids are rarely caught in yellow pan traps, the two uncommon xiphydriids, Indoxiphia prima Smith, 2019, and L. mitai, had been caught almost exclusively in these traps. The 12 females of L. mitai reported here were also trapped in yellow pans. For I. prima and L. mitai no males have been found and the life histories of these species are unknown. It is possible that the reason they can almost only be found in yellow pan traps is because they share still unknown unique biological or behavioral characteristics.	en	Qian, Yuhang, Comulada, Warren S, Hidalgo, Marco A, Lee, Sung-Jae, Friedman, Macky R, Palella, Frank J, Plankey, Michael W, D'Souza, Gypsyamber, Detels, Roger, Mimiaga, Matthew J (2025): New Collection Records for Four Xiphydriidae (Hymenoptera) from Japan.

7C6287D6DE32FF9D35D1FD175CACA2E4.taxon	distribution	Distribution. Japan (Hokkaido, Kunashiri Island, Honshu, Shikoku). Korea, Russia (Sakhalin, Primorskij kraj). Remarks. In Hokkaido, this species is known to occur in western central regions and the easternmost record until now was Kamishihoro (Hara and Shinohara, 2018; Shinohara et al., 2020). The Akkeshi specimen represents the easternmost record in Hokkaido and the first distribution record from the eastern part of the island.	en	Qian, Yuhang, Comulada, Warren S, Hidalgo, Marco A, Lee, Sung-Jae, Friedman, Macky R, Palella, Frank J, Plankey, Michael W, D'Souza, Gypsyamber, Detels, Roger, Mimiaga, Matthew J (2025): New Collection Records for Four Xiphydriidae (Hymenoptera) from Japan.

7C6287D6DE31FF9D37FBFE495C40A0FE.taxon	distribution	Distribution. Japan (Honshu). Remarks. This is a rare species known only from the type series (six females and five males), all from lower mountains in central and western Honshu (Fig. 1, Kanagawa, Saitama, Okayama and Hiroshima prefectures; Shinohara, 2019). The Daigo specimen represents the first distribution record in Ibaraki Prefecture and the easternmost record for the species.	en	Qian, Yuhang, Comulada, Warren S, Hidalgo, Marco A, Lee, Sung-Jae, Friedman, Macky R, Palella, Frank J, Plankey, Michael W, D'Souza, Gypsyamber, Detels, Roger, Mimiaga, Matthew J (2025): New Collection Records for Four Xiphydriidae (Hymenoptera) from Japan.

7C6287D6DE31FF9D3794FC6F5C14A54E.taxon	distribution	Distribution. Japan (Hokkaido, Honshu, Sado Island, Shikoku). Remarks. Shinohara (2019) listed 68 specimens of this species from Hokkaido, and as far as we know, these are all the specimens ever recorded from this island. Most of the specimens are from Sapporo area in western central Hokkaido and others are from southern and eastern central regions. The previous easternmost records were Kamishihoro and Obihiro (Shinohara, 2019) and Hamanaka is much further east than these localities.	en	Qian, Yuhang, Comulada, Warren S, Hidalgo, Marco A, Lee, Sung-Jae, Friedman, Macky R, Palella, Frank J, Plankey, Michael W, D'Souza, Gypsyamber, Detels, Roger, Mimiaga, Matthew J (2025): New Collection Records for Four Xiphydriidae (Hymenoptera) from Japan.
