    Danaus chrysippus, known as Plain Tiger, is a permanent resident in the subtropical or tropical Asia and appears to be resident in Formosa. It sometimes finds its way to Japan, but has never been found from N. Japan. D. chrysippus was first recorded in Japan in September of 1930. At Chiba Pref., a large number of examples (19♂♂3♀♀) were captured between September and November, 1966. This large number for the one year was remarkable as an exceptional occurrence for Honshu (Japan Main Island). In 1970 three individuals were recorded from Central Honshu: Mie Pref. (Aug.), Shizuoka Pref. (Sept.) and Kanagawa Pref. (Aug.). The Philippine D. chrysippus is said to differ from the Asia-Continental or Formosan D. chrysippus in its smaller white spots in broader black marginal band on the hind wing. Almost all the specimens caught in Honshu are rather allied to the former. Both typhoon and seasonal wind during the summer season on W. Pacific region may aid the migrant flight of this butterfly to Japan. The main origin of Japanese D. chrysippus is therefore considered to be the Philippines and/or their nearby

    Since 1967, several lepidopterologists collected Princeps demoleus in Luzon island of the Philippines, and those specimens were identified as Taiwan subspecies, P. d. libanius FRUHSTORFER, by T. IWASE (1969). According to J. Jumalon (1969), this butterfly was collected in Luzon, Cebu and Leyte islands, and he thought that this butterfly was a new-commer to the Philippines from other country recently. The present author visited to Palawan island for malaria investigation in January, 1970, and he saw this butterfly in this island, but he could not collect it at that time. He had second chance to stay Palawan from October, 1970, to February, 1971, and he collected about twenty specimens of this butterfly. After his returning to Japan, he examined his collection and identified it as subspecies libanius. The author thought that this was one example of an artificial migration by ship. His assumption is as follows: this butterfly have been brought to Manila, Luzon island, with citrus saplings imported from Taiwan, and soon this citrus was replanted to Cebu, and the butterfly might also be brought to Cebu with citrus saplings and again to Leyte from Cebu. Since 1969, this butterfly further invaded to Palawan with citrus saplings from Luzon island. In Palawan this butterfly is distributed only in lowland areas near village and town. The author went to forest areas several times, but could not see it in such places. The author shows 4 pictures of Princeps demoleus libanius FRUHSTORFER collected in Palawan island (Fig.1a and b…♂.c and d…♀). He also shows the distribution map of P. demoleus in the Philippiens Fig. 2×…Distribution of this butterfly.→…Distribution course of this butterfly). According to a short report by S. Ae (1970), this butterfly was also collected in Negros and Mindanao islands.

    In Ancylomia japonica ZELLER, the process from thoracic segmentation to shortening of the embryo is divided into eight stages, and the morphogenesis in each stage is described in the present paper. 1)The premandibular appendages appear as a pair of small ectodermal processes. They exist, however, for a while and disappear in later development. 2)The head is thought to consist of six parts, i.e., the acron, the antennal, the premandibular, the mandibular, the maxillary and the labial segments. 3)At first the abdomen consists of 11 segments, but later becomes ten segments through the loss of the tenth segment. 4)At the occurring of the stomodaeal invagination the endodermal cells are formed as the special cell-mass at the blind end of the stomodaeum. On the other hand, at the occurring of proctodaeal invagination there is no special cell-mass. The anterior mid-gut epithelium originates from the cells formed at the blind end of the stomodaeum. 5)The epipharynx is formed as a small process just in front of the opening of the stomodaeum. 6)Neuroblasts are formed in each segment. Later the ganglia of the gnathal segments fuse into one. When the tenth abdominal segment disappears, the ninth and the tenth abdominal ganglia fuse into one. 7)The labrum at first appears as a pair of processes, later these paired processes move medially to fuse togather. During this process a pair of coelomic sacs in the labral anlagen is observed, but these cavities are different from those of other coelomic sacs. 8)The suboesophageal body originates from the mesodermal cells of the ventral side of the stomodaeal invagination. This mesoderm belongs to the premandibular segment. 9)The stomatogastric system develops from the dorsal wall of the stomodaeal invagination. 10)The malpighian tubules are formed as a pair of the ectodermal invaginations at the blind end of the proctodaeum. 11)The ectodermal invagination in cephalic region consists of seven pairs, i.e., the anterior tentorium, the extensor mandibulae, the flexor mandibulae, the salivary gland, the posterior tentorium, the silk gland and the prothoracic gland. The author would like to think that the anterior tentorium, the extensor mandibulae, the flexor mandibulae and the salivary gland originate from the mandibular segment, the posterior tentorium from the maxillary segment, and the silk gland and the prothoracic gland belong to the labial segment.

    In this paper the distiribution of Plebejus argus BUTLER in the Chugoku distirict is discussed. 1. In this distict this butterfly is distributed mainly in the mountainous region (the Chugoku-sanchi) from Kanmuri-yama (West end of the Chugoku-sanchi) to the line that links Chizu-Cho (Tottori Pref.) with Mimasaka-Cho (Okayama Pref.). It has not been found in Hyogo Prefecture. 2. The larva is fed on Cirsium sieboldi MIQ. in this area, but the factors influencing the distribution of this butterfly are not only food plant, but the presence of the moor. 3. The moors are found at fairly low lands in the Chugoku district, but the habitats of this butterfly in this district are conformable to the distribution of the moor with the association of Cirsieto-Molenietum japonicae in the mountainous region. 4. It is estimated that Plebejus argus extended its distribution from Korea Peninsula to the Chugoku district, and also extended to the northern parts of Japan from Amur and Saghalien in glacial age from Ris G1, to Wurm G1.

    Under the natural conditon, the interspecific courtship and hybridization between Papilio helenus nicconicolens BUTLER and P, xuthus LINNE are unknown. The author observed three cases of courtship behavior between helenus♀and xuthus ♂. Judging from these observations, there seems to be the possibility of hybridization between the above two species in the field. The details of the courtship flight are described. The absence or scarcity of helenus male seems to be one of the factor causing the interspecific courtship.
