The species Tiphia vernalis (Spring Tiphia) has been introduced in the United States from Korea and China in 1925 to combat the Japanese beetle (Popillia japonica).[2] T. vernalis has also fed on the oriental beetle (Anomala orientalis) in laboratory settings and in a nursery; thus, it is being proposed as a possible pest control method for A. orientalis.[3]
