	abstract = {Anoplius liukiu (DALLA TORRE) exhibits several characteristics in its nesting behavior. Females build their nests in the ground before hunting. They transport prey walking backward on the ground, grasping it in their mandibles by the base of the legs. Alternatively they may drag it forward along the surface film of the water, using their wings for locomotion, grasping it by the middle of the first or second leg, as do females of A. eous YASUMATSU. Their nests are often excavated in pre-existing large burrows opening into stream banks and contain 1-4 cells. Their prey consists of immature or adult males and females of Pardosa pseudoannulata (BOSFNBERG et STRAND) (Lycosidae). Other prey taken was an adult female of Pirata clercki (BOSENBERG et STRAND) (Lycosidae) and a juvenile of Coelotes sp. (Agelenidae). Nesting behavior and some morphological characteristics of this species are compared with those of A. eous, which occupies the same habitat as A. liukiu but is more versatile in its nesting and more adapted for a semi-aquatic mode of life.},

	abstract = {The first instar larvae of the mantispids, Mantispa japonica MacLACHLAN and Eumantispa harmandi (NAVAS), were found associating with spiders collected in and around deciduous forests in Osaka, Wakayama, and Nara Prefectures, in central Japan between October 1993 and May 1994. The spiders were juveniles, subadults, or adults classified into 15 species belonging to six families: Thomisidae, Philodromidae, Clubionidae, Salticidae, Agelenidae, and Heteropodidae. The larvae of the two mantispid species wrapped over the body surface around the pedicel of host spiders, but detailed positions were slightly different between the two species: The larvae of M. japonica were associating with spiders collected on plants, and those of E. harmandi were associating with spiders found under stones and fallen trees, and in the litter. Larvae of E. harmandi were also found on specimens of predominantly epigaeic spiders from Gifu, Osaka, and Hyogo Prefectures.},
