Length 6.8–8.4 mm, width 4.4–5.6 mm. Head, scutellum, meso- and metathoracic, and abdominal ventrites reddish brown; antenna black except two basal antennomeres; abdominal ventrites medially darker; elytron bluish metallic; leg reddish brown but tibia and tarsus darkened (Figs 3 A–3C); prothorax yellow, pronotum with one pair of extremely large black spots at sides, and one median, wide, longitudinal brown band (Fig. 3 D). Antenna filiform (Fig. 4 A), 0.5x as long as body; length ratios of antennomeres II to XI about 1.0: 1.5: 1.8: 1.8: 1.8: 1.8: 1.7: 1.7: 1.6: 1.8, and length to width ratios of antennomeres II to XI about 1.6: 2.2: 2.6: 2.6: 2.6: 2.6: 2.6: 2.7: 2.5: 3.4. Aedeagus (Figs 4 B–4C) wide in dorsal view, about 6.5x longer than wide, parallelsided; apex tubelike with small rounded process at middle; ventral surface well sclerotized and smooth; narrow and slightly curved in lateral view; with four stout setae near apex of ventral surface of internal sac; apical processes of endophallic sclerite conjunct, apex rounded; apico-lateral process widely rounded; with one pair of processes erect and recurved outwards at apical 1/3; base tubelike. Gonocoxae reduced. Ventrite VIII (Fig. 4 D) with short spiculum; apex transverse, wide, with dense setae apically. Receptacle of spermatheca (Fig. 4 E) elongate, and slightly swollen, pump much narrower and longer, extremely curved; proximal spermathecal duct extremely short and wide. Diagnosis. Morphosphaera bimaculata is similar to M. montivaga in possessing one pair of black spots at sides and one median, wide, brown band on pronotum. But M. bimaculata is much smaller (M. montivaga is over 10 mm), with bluish or greenish metallic elytra (reddish brown elytra with purple reflections in M. montivaga). This species also lacks black stripes within the brown band on the pronotum, and the abdominal ventrites are reddish brown but medially darkened (abdominal ventrites blackish brown but sides yellowish brown in M. montivaga). Host plants. Ficus erecta Thunb. var. beecheyana (Hook. & Arn.) King, F. fistulosa Reinw. ex Blime, F. pumila L. var. awkeotsang (Makino) Corner, F. sarmentosa B. Ham. ex J. E. Sm. var. nipponica (Fr. & Sav.) Corner (Moraceae) (Lee and Cheng 2007). Biology. Morphosphaera bimaculata populations are presumably bivoltine. Adults have been documented as the overwintering stage. They hide between crevices of bark (Fig. 5 A) or leaves (Fig. 5 B). They become active during early or middle February. Based on laboratory rearing at 20–25ºC, females laid 29– 39 eggs in a single egg mass (Fig. 5 C). The eggs hatched in nine days. The larvae fed on leaves and the larval duration was 15 days (Figs 5 D–5F). Mature larvae (Fig. 5 G) crawled into the soil and built underground chambers for pupation. The pupal stage (Fig. 5 H) lasted approximately 18 days. The newly emerged adults went into summer dormancy during July, and became active during autumn. Larvae were again found during October.

General color (Figs 4–5) yellowish brown but metathoracic and abdominal ventrites, middle and hind legs black; outer margins of femur and tibia, and tarsi of front legs black; labrum dark brown; antenna dark brown except three basal antennomeres yellowish brown. Antenna (Fig. 62) filiform and slender, antennomere I enlarged; ratio of length of antennomeres III to XI about 1.0: 1.1: 1.1: 1.1: 1.1: 1.0: 1.0: 1.0: 1.2; ratio of length to width from antennomere III to XI about 3.9: 3.4: 3.5: 3.5: 3.4: 3.2: 3.6: 3.6: 4.7. Pronotum with deep, transverse groove; one pair of tubercles behind groove. Elytra with cluster of erect hairs behind humerus. Abdominal tergite VIII well sclerotized (Fig. 67), apical margin with wide triangular incision and apices acute. Median lobe of abdominal ventrite V rectangular, with median, longitudinal, wide groove and abbreviated near apex. Penis (Figs 64–65) slender, parallel-sided, abruptly narrowed at apical 1/7 and apically tapering, apex recurved; slightly curved from middle to apex in lateral view; tectum laterally sclerotized; endophallus with clusters of short setae, and with one longitudinal sclerite, apically tapering, apex strongly curved in lateral view, basally widened.</p> <p> <b>Females.</b> Length 7.2 mm, width 3.9 mm. Similar to male (Figs 6–7), but pronotum with transverse groove shallow, and without tubercles; cluster of erect hairs on elytra absent; antennomere I not enlarged (Fig. 63); ratio of length of antennomeres III to XI about 1.0: 1.1: 1.0: 1.0: 1.0: 1.0: 1.0: 1.0: 1.2; ratio of length to width from antennomere III to XI about 3.0: 3.2: 3.2: 3.3: 3.3: 3.2: 3.2: 3.2: 4.4. Pygidium projecting from elytral apex, parallel-sided, slender, and apex rounded. Middle of apical margin of abdominal ventrite V (Fig. 69) emarginate, weakly convex at middle of emargination. Gonocoxae (Fig. 70) slender, apex of each gonocoxa with seven or eight setae from apical 1/6 to apex; gonocoxae connected at middle, base slender. Ventrite VIII (Fig. 71) weakly sclerotized; apex narrow, apical margin emarginate at middle, with dense short setae along apex; spiculum short. Spermathecal receptaculum (Fig. 72) a little swollen; pump strongly curved; spermathecal duct short, stout, shallowly projecting into receptaculum.</p> <p> <b>Host plant.</b> Cucurbitaceae: <i>Trichosanthes quinquangulata</i> A. Gray (Chûjô 1962; present study).</p> <p> <b>Remarks.</b> To exclude conspecifity between <i>Aulacophora kotoensis</i> and <i>A. abdominalis</i> (Fabricius, 1781) it was necessary to study the type specimens of <i>Crioceris abdominalis</i> in the Fabricius-collection. The results of the study of these specimens are treated extensively in the section on <i>Aulacophora abdominalis</i> and partly in the section on <i>A. indica</i>. For the status of <i>A. kotoensis</i> it is relevant that we have found no arguments to treat this species as conspecific with <i>A. abdominalis</i>.</p> <p> <b>Distribution.</b> Lanyu and Hsiaolanyu islands (Taiwan). Hsiaolanyu is very small and deserted island which is very close to Lanyu Island. The size of island is about 1.75 km 2.</p>Published as part of <i>Lee, Chi-Feng & Beenen, Ron, 2015, Revision of the genus Aulacophora from Taiwan (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae: Galerucinae), pp. 151-190 in Zootaxa 3949 (2)</i> on pages 167-169, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.3949.2.1, <a href="http://zenodo.org/record/237252">http://zenodo.org/record/237252</a>
Francis Chujo speech presented at the Defense Rally Night declaring the loyalty of Issei to the United States, December 22, 1941
No full textChujo's address emphasizes the loyalty of the first generation of Japanese residents in the United States whose children are now American citizens. Chujo states "Words alone will no longer be enough in showing our loyalty. Deeds must demonstrate that loyalty. While we of the first generation may not be called upon or privileged to bear arms for the United States, we can still be true to her by supporting the war aims and efforts through the purchase of National Defense Bonds and Stamps, by aiding the Red Cross, and cooperating to the best of our ability with all the National Defense agencies. This is a duty we owe America for all that we now enjoy."After Japan attacked Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, the United States government began enacting a series of measures against those with Japanese ancestry. On February 19, 1942, President Franklin Roosevelt issued Executive Order 9066, authorizing military commanders to designate "military areas" at their discretion, "from which any or all persons may be excluded." On March 2, 1942, General John DeWitt signed Public Proclamation No. 1 establishing the Pacific coast and 100 miles inland as Military Area No. 1 and requiring that anyone with "enemy" ancestry evacuate
