That is, species in each group have characteristic reproductive organs and systems. Ticks are important as vectors of various pathogens. Haemaphysalis longicornis belonging to the Metastriata is characterized by having both the parthenogenetic and bisexual races, and is widely distributed in Australia, New Zealand, New Caledonia, the Fiji Islands, Japan, the Korean Peninsula and northeastern areas of both China and Russia. This species is known as a vector of rickettsiae causing Q fever, viruses causing Russian spring-summer encephalitis, and protozoa causing theileriosis and babesiosis. H . longicornis , the most dominant tick in Japanese pastures, is very important in agricultural and veterinary sciences because this species also transmits piroplasmosis caused by Theileria and Babesia parasites among grazing cattle.

Adult females of the two-spotted spider mite, Tetranychus urticae (Acari: Tetranychidae) enter diapause without vitellogenesis in response to short daylength and low temperature (Veerman, 1985; Kawakami et al., 2009). In the present study, we topically applied a pyrethroid, cypermethrin (CyM) to diapause females of T. urticae as a preliminary approach to the endocrine mechanisms of adult diapause and vitellogenesis. Pyrethroids are synthetic analogues of the pyrethrins, naturally occurring insecticides found in pyrethrum, and have been shown to act primarily on the nervous system (Soderlund and Bloomquist, 1989). In some insects, pyrethroids produce an increase in frequency and an alteration in the pattern of electrical activity of neurosecretory cells in the brain and the corpora cardiaca to release neurosecretory substances (Orchard and Osborne, 1979; Orchard, 1980; Singh and Orchard, 1983). In the soft tick, Ornithodoros moubata, pyrethroids induce vitellogenesis probably through stimulating the release of neurosecretory hormones (Chinzei et al., 1989; Taylor et al., 1991). Pyrethroids show a stimulating effect on ovarian development in adult females of the twenty-eight-spotted lady beetle, Henosepilachna vigintioctopunctata in photoperiodically induced diapause also (Kono and Ozeki, 1987). We used a laboratory colony of T. urticae originating from females collected in Sapporo, Japan. Newly emerged female adults kept from eggs under 12 h light and 12 h darkness (LD 12: 12) at 20 ± 1°C were collected within 24 h (day 0). Females with orange body color on day 12 had immature ovaries and showed no expression of a vitellogenin gene (Kawakami et al., 2009). These adults were regarded as diapause females, and used for the experiment.
