Remarks. ThiS iS the firSt record of thiS SpecieS from Anijima. The typeS of G. tambiniae are conSidered to be loSt (Olmi 1984). An empty cocoon from which probably a Syntype female waS emerged iS in the collection of ELKU, but no dryinid Specimen haS been found. It waS reared from Tambinia debilis Stål (= Kallitaxila sinica (Walker)) . AS the body color and general morphology of G. tambiniae (according to the original deScription) are included in a variation of G. hagoromo, G. tambiniae iS here conSidered new Senior Synonym of G. hagoromo . Natural hoSt of G. hagoromo iS conSidered to be Kallitaxila SpecieS in OgaSawara (Mita & Olmi 2013).
