Abstract

Wolbachiaare cytoplasmically inherited bacteria that are reported to infect at least 18–30% of all insect species. Our survey of Lepidoptera indicated that 44.9% of forty‐nine species and 77.8% of nine families tested positive forWolbachiausing PCR withwspprimers. Nineteen species had not been described previously as infected. In particular, althoughPieris rapae, which is a common species in Japan, is infected byWolbachia, the prevalence was very low (3.4%) and there were some localities whereWolbachiacould not be detected. The probability of detection ofWolbachiadepends on the number of screened individuals ofP. rapae. The results indicate that the actual number of species that are positive forWolbachiamay be higher than previously reported.
