The red imported fire ant, Solenopsis invicta Buren, was first recorded from Japan during 2017. Since then, the Biodiversity Center, Ehime Prefectural Institute of Public Health and Environmental Science (BCEJ) has received a total of 70 reports about ants suspected to represent this species from the citizens of Ehime Prefecture. In addition, BCEJ conducted monitoring surveys for the ants at four ports of entry (Mishima-kawanoe Port, Matsuyama Port, Niihama Port, and Imabari Port) in Ehime Prefecture on 10 July 2017. Samples obtained during these surveys and submitted by citizens were identified to genera and evaluated for their status as non native invasive species by staff at BCEJ, and the results were delivered immediately to concerned individuals at the sources. Subsequently, samples were further identified to 21 species within 14 genera and four subfamilies by the first author. Results include seven exotic species, S. geminata (Fabricius), Monomorium chinense Santschi, M. pharaonis (Linnaeus), Trichomyrmex destructor (Jerdon), Pheidole indica Mayr, Tetramorium bicarinatum (Nylander), and Tapinoma melanocephalum (Fabricius), new distributional records for Shikoku for T. destructor (Jerdon), and new records for Ehime Prefecture for M. pharaonis (Linnaeus) and Lasius meridionalis (Bondroit). In addition to ants, 14 out of 70 reports referred to Myrmarachne elongata Szombathy, which is a salticid spider that mimics and superficially resembles ants.

We newly record Foenatopus cinctus (Matsumura, 1912) from Honshu, Shikoku, Kyushu, Yaku Island, and Iriomote Island, Japan. The variation on this species is reported by Hong et al. (2011) as vein 2-cu1 is 0.5–1.2 times as long as vein cu-a. However, some specimens we examined have vein 2-cu1 less than 0.5 times as long as vein cu-a or almost disappeared. We identified them as F. cinctus based on other characters.
