The Krakatau Islands, consisting of 4 islets, are situated in the Sunda Strait between Java and Sumatra in Indonesia. As is well known, the islands were almost certainly completely sterilized by the world-famous big eruption in 1883. In association with the international research program on "100 years development of Krakatau and its surroundings" organized by the Indonesian Institute of Sciences (LIPI), the author visited there in 1982 to study the insect fauna of the islands. A total of 39 butterfly species were collected on the Krakataus, 29 on Panaitan Island and 18 at Carita, a small village along the west coast of Java. In the light of recent biogeographical theories, the faunistic features and recolonization of the Krakataus by butterflies are discussed, based on the collecting records of the present and previous surveys together with floral lists compiled by plant ecologists.

The new species described below was only recently discovered in Kumamoto Prefecture of Kyushu by a joint survey of Mr. K. YOSHIZAKI and the junior author. This quite unexpected discovery increases the number of species of Orthosia occurring in Japan to as many as twenty, showing the richness of this genus in the temperate forest.

The nutritional effects of foodplants on larval growth and the oviposition preference of females were studied for E. hecabe. The larvae were reared with five different plants. The larvae which fed on L. bicolor, L. juncea and A. julibrissin developed normally, but all larvae on L. striata and I. pseudotinctoria died during the first-stage. The first three plants are nutritionally subequally suitable as food for the development of the larvae of E. hecabe, though L. bicolor was slightly superior to L. juncea and A. julibrissin with respect to developmental velocity and larval or pupal weight gain. The eggs of E. hecabe were found on threeplants; L. bicolor, L. juncea and A. julibrissin. Females of E. hecabe were observed in the field to deposit only on these three plants, although they alighted on other leguminous plants. The females were observed to oviposit preferably on L. juncea in the grassland. L. juncea and A. julibrissin grow in gaps in the forest and around forest edge rather than in the grassland. By utilizing these three plants, E. hecabe is considered to be able to inhabit a variety of habitats.
