Preface
Even though our knowledge of insect embryogenesis ha~ become much increased in these
decades, there still remains the groups of insect embryogenesis of which is completely unknown, as in cases of the Protura and Zoraptera, and at the same time, descriptive works on
many other insect orders are still insufficient and fragmentary. It is beyond doubt thatfurther development of insect embryology may only be assured after accumulation of thedetailed and correct information on normal embryogenesis, however, the number of thedes<;riptive works on insect embryogenesis appearing yearly are not many and tended todecrease. This works is therefore intended to give observations on normal embryogenesisof several Japanese insects, which have hitherto been less studied.
In Japan, the earliest work on the embryogenesis of insects was done by Dr. Kametaro
Toyama (1902), who gave thorough observations on the normal development of silkworm,
Bombyx mori. After the World War 11, popUlation of insect embryologists gradually increased, and now it is generally believed that the majority of the workers who participate
the study of normal embryogenesis of insects could be found in this country. In 1963
"the Study Group of the Students of Arthropodan Embryology in Japan" was establishedby us and a few colleagues, and since that time this organization has endevoured the studyof insect embryogenesis and. descriptive works were particularly encouraged. In 1982 thisorganization was reformed and became "the Arthropodan Embryological Society of Japan",but main purpo·se of this Society is the same as that in 1963. It is by this reason that thisbook is published from this Society, commemorating the 20th Anniversary of the establishment of the Study Group of the Students of Arthropodan Embryology in Japan. We hopethat publication of this book may stimulate many biologists and also expect that coming
more detailed, extensive works on descriptive studies on insect embryogenesis.
We wish to express our hearty thanks to Dr. Kazuo Haga of University of Tsukuba andDr. Hajime Mori of Tokyo Metropolitan University for their untiring help to publish thisbook. Publication of this book was financially supported by the Grant-in-Aid for Publication of Scientific Research Result from the Japanese Ministry of Education, Science andCulture and we deeply appreciate. Technical help by ISEBU Printing & Publishing Co.
Ltd. will also be gratefully acknowledged.
Finally, we wish to acknowledge the continued advice and encouragement we havereceived many years from the late Dr. Hidemiti Oka, Professor Emeritus of Tokyo KyoikuUniversity, to whom this book is dedicated.
