Abstract
Five natural foodplants of Kirinia epaminondas STAUDINGER (Satyridae) are recorded. Third or fourth instar larvae were collected from Carex japonica THUNB., Carex lanceolata BOOTT., Carex dispalata BOOTT. (Cyperaceae), Poa pratensis LINN, and Imperata cylindrica (LINN.) BEAUV, var, koenigii (RETZ.) DURAND et SCHINZ. at Shinano-Oiwake (elevation 1000m) in late May and early June, 1954-1967. They pupated in late June or early July, and the adults emerged in middle or late July.
