| Research Abstract |
A Japanese harvestman Gagrellula ferruginea (Sclerosomatidae: Gagrellinae) shows circular overlaps at two different areas: (1) northwestern part of Chubu District along the Hida Mountains where two geographic races recognized by color, Hokuriku Race and Kanto Race, meet and make a narrow zone of overlap and (2) northeastern part of Shikoku Island (the Sanuki Mountains) where two forms representing both ends (2n=12 and 20) of a chain of chromosomal races (2n = 12/14/16/18/20) coexist without any indication of hybridization. We surveyed these circular overlaps of Gagrellula ferruginea in detail.
