JOURNAL FREE ACCESSWe have in Japan two species belonging to the genus Ladoga: camilla and glorifica. The former is widely distributed over Japan from Hokkaido southwards to Kyushu, while the latter is strictly endemic to Honshu and absent from abroad. They are usually sympatric in Honshu. In this paper, the zoo-geographical characters are analyzed from an ecological standpoint, especially from their larval foodplants. Both field surveys and experimental studies disclosed that the larval food-plants of L. camilla have wide spectrum to all subgenera and sections of the genus Lonicera and Weigela (Caprifoliaceae). On the contrary, those of L. glorifica are restricted only to a certain number of species of Lonicera. L. camilla prefers the forest margine of the cold temperate zone of Eurasia, where the larval food-plants belonging to Sect. Coeloxylosteum of the genus Lonicera grows abundantly. In Japan, the warm temperate zone is also attractive to Weigela, which may cause the southward extension of the range of L. camilla. On the other hand, the main haunt of L. glorifica is the light shrubland of comparatively dry regions in the warm temperate zone, where the main food-plant of L. glorifica. Lonicera japonica covers the crown of the shrubs. The northernmost ranges of both L. glorifica and Lonicera japonica are almst the same. The zoo-geographical relations between L. camilla and L. glorifica in Japan bears a close resemblance to those between L. camilla and L. reducta in Europe. The records of the larval food-plants of Japanese Ladoga hitherto known are also reviewed with some comments.View full abstractDownload PDF (1080K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSPithecops fulgens (Polyommatinae) occurs in Assam, Formosa and Japan. In our country this species is distributed only in the island of Tsushima. Little is known about the life-history, therefore the authors have researched it as well as the zoo-geographical aspect since 1973, in cooperation with the Survey on Tsushima Biological Researches by the Nagasaki Biological Society. The following results have so far been obtained. 1. This species is only found from the north-western parts of the Tsushima island, extending northwards to Kawachi and Izmi of Kamitsushima-cho and southwards to Mine and Okubo of Mine-cho. It is absent from the east coastal areas of there. 2. It inhabits in the darker, moist cedar forests, where the following larval food-plants (Leguminosae) grow abundantly. Demodium oldhamii Oliver D. laxum DC. D. osphyllum DC. D. fallax Schindl. D. fallax Schindi. var dilatatum Nakai D. podocarpum DC. 3. The butterfly is on the wing from early May to the middle of October. There are five broods in the year. The spring form is larger than the summer one. It visits various flowers in bloom, which serve nectar, and occasionally sucks water on muddy ground. 4. The egg is laid singly on a new bud of the larval food-plants in spring, and siso on the petal in summer. The larva hatches three day after oviposition, and feeds the buds or petals. It may eat the leaves, but does not remain there. 5. The last instar larva makes its nest before pupating. In spring, it bits partially the underside of the petiole, binds up two of the three drooping leaflets with silk, and then pupates on the silk-lined main vein near the base directing the head toward the leaflet-apex. In July and August, the last instar larva feeds the petals. When fully grown, it moves down the stem and makes the nest on the undersurface of the lower leaflet directing the head in generl toward the leaflet-tip. Some larvae pupate on the spikelet downwards. The larval stage is approximately 17 days. In autumn, the last instar larva makes the nest with leaflets, which falls down in late autumn naturally. It passes the winter and pupates in the nest in April without having any food after hibernation. The pupal stage ranges from 8 to 10 days. 6. The nesting behaviour of P. fulgens seems apparently to be similar to that of the first instar larva of Arhopalini and to the self-hiding behaviour of Theclini, but the nature is supposed to be essentially different.View full abstractDownload PDF (2553K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSThe photographs show the hibernating larvae of Neptis sappho Pallas on dead leaves of Wisteria floribunda DC. It feeds on Pueraria lobata Ohwi and Wisteria floribunda DC (Leguminosae) in autumn, and hibernates as the last instar larva among dead leaves on the ground near the food-plants. It pupates in April without eating.View full abstractDownload PDF (255K) -
