Diagnosis

See the "Taxon treatment" section of Fujie et al. (2021).

Distribution

Eastern Palaearctic (Japan) (present paper) and Oriental Regions (Japan and Taiwan) ( Fujie et al. 2021; present paper, Fig. 1 ).

Occurrence data of M. stellatus

A total of 25 digital occurrence data of M. stellatus were compiled. Twenty-two of them were permitted by the posters for reuse of their data in the present paper (Table 3 ), while three were not. Amongst the permitted data, 21 were obtained from the Taiwanese Facebook posts, representing the first record of M. stellatus from Taiwan (Table 3 ; Figs 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 ). One digital occurrence record was recognised from Yakushima Is. Japan, via the Japanese website, representing the first record of M. stellatus from the Eastern Palaearctic Region (Table 3 ; Fig. 11 ). The suspended communal cocoons were observed in all compiled data (Table 3 ), but larval and adult stages were not. In addition, associated insects with M. stellatus were recognised in 11 of the 22 permitted digital occurrence data (50% of all data) (see Table 3 and the below "Insects associated with M. stellatus " section).

Seven physical occurrence data were also listed in the present paper (Table 4 ; Figs 2 , 12 ). Four of them were based on voucher-preserved specimens for digital occurrence data, while the remaining three were recognised through investigation of a Hymenoptera collection preserved at TARI by HPC and KTL.

Insects associated with M. stellatus

A total of 12 insect taxa were recognised as being associated with M. stellatus (Table 5 ) (including the data from Fujie et al. (2021)).

Hosts

A total of five host species from three hawk moth genera ( Lepidoptera , Sphingidae : Cechetra , Hippotion and Macroglossum ) were listed in Table 5 . Three of which ( C. minor , H. celerio and Ma. sitiene ) were recorded for the first time as hosts. The majority of moth species currently recognised as hosts belong to the genus Macroglossum . On the other hand, two host moth species belong to the genera Cechetra and Hippotion , representing the first genus-level host records for M. stellatus . As hosts of M. stellatus , three ( C. minor , H. celerio and Ma. sitiene ) were known only from Taiwan (present paper), one ( Ma. passalus ) was from both Taiwan (present paper) and Japan ( Fujie et al. 2021) and one ( Ma. pyrrhosticta ) was only from Japan ( Fujie et al. 2021).

Hyperparasitoids

A total of six hyperparasitoid wasps, including three new data from Taiwan, were listed in Table 5 . However, two of the new data could unfortunately not be identified as generic- and species-levels and were excluded from the "Taxon treatments" section in the present paper, while their higher classification (indeterminate species of Pteromalidae and Trichogrammatidae families) was mentioned in the "occurrenceRemarks" of M. stellatus and Table 5 . The remaining new hyperparasitoid wasp data were identified as the Darwin wasp genus Mesochorus ( Ichneumonidae , Mesochorinae ), but the specific name could not be identified.

Predators

Only one paper wasp species, Parapolybia varia (Fabricius, 1787) ( Hymenoptera , Vespidae ), was recognised as a predator (Table 5 ; Fig. 10 ). It was recognised from two sources (Table 3 ). The cocoon of M. stellatus was intensively attacked by either a single worker (Fig. 10 ) or many workers (as seen in the video at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AYzqgeJwxOo). The communal cocoon, suspended by a long cable, was moderately to strongly swaying and spinning due to natural winds and the flapping of the paper wasps' wings. First, the paper wasps were hovering in the air and trying to figure out the optimal timing for landing on the cocoon. Subsequently, they landed on the cocoon if it was relatively stable, but gave up landing on it if it was unstable.
