Abstract

We conducted a nationwide bedbug surveys in 2016–2017. A total of 101 specimens from 19 prefectures was collected in the investigations. Cimex hemipterus was recorded for the first time in Tokyo in 2016. The species was found in a highly air-tight building, with a constant elevated room temperature therefore, possibly providing an overwintering habitat. The results suggested that C. hemipterus abundance increased in various parts of Japan, with an increase of both Japanese and other tourists.
