Through the investigation of the continental Chinese and Korean material of the genus Neptis, it becomes clear that two species have been confused under Neptis pryeri Butler, 1871, and Neptis andetria Fruhstorfer, 1912 is upgraded to a full species from its former subspecific treatment of N. pryeri. These two species are well distinguished from each other by the wing maculation, male genitalia and the larval morphology, and sympatric habitat was confirmed in Korea. W. and SE. Chinese oberthueri Eliot, 1969 is attributed to a subspecies of andetria.

To clarify the structure and organization of butterfly communities. I analyzed a transect-count data set of seven butterfly communities in varying types of woodland habitat at the northern foot of Mt Fuji, central Japan. The results of statistical analyses including UPGMA suggested that the butterfly community was composed of four species subgroups that showed either relatively high abundances and wide local distributions (subgroup IV), relatively low abundances and wide local distributions (subgroups I and III), or relatively low abundances and restricted local distributions (subgroup II). The result of PCA suggested that the extent of growth in the mantle and sleeve plant communties (i.e. the degree of development of forest edges (corresponding to ecotone))in each habitat played the major role in the diversification, formation, and organization of the four species subgroups. The two species subgroups IV and II, although quite different in abundance and distribution patterns, both had a great influence on the variations in the community indices such as species richness (total number of species) and total population abundance among the seven transect sites. whereas the other two subgroups I and III did not. From the analysis of the habitat types associated with the component species of the four species subgroups, it may be suggested that the differences in population abundances among the four species subgroups could be interpreted in terms of the sources and sinks theory (e.g. Pulliam, 1988). Overall, my analysis demonstrates that statistical approaches, including multivariate analysis, are very effective in the analysis of the structure and organization of butterfly communities.

Yokochi & Koiwaya (1997) presented a specimen which was suspected as a female of Euthalia (Limbusd) lengba Tytler, 1940, but the material should be considered as a female of Euthalia (Limbusa) linpingensis Mell, 1935. I show here the type specimen of linpingensis and correct the error.

The specific name of Papilio erminia Cramer, 1779, the type species of the genus Apaturina Herrich-Schaffer, 1864 has often been misspelled as erminea by subsequent authors. The original spelling is confirmed as erminia from the original description. Apaturina erminia distributed in the Bismarck Islands is reviewed in terms of taxonomic treatments. Two subspecies, namely, A. erminia neopommerania from New Britain and A. erminia elzunia from New Ireland, are recognized. The recently described subspecies sorimachii Morita & Kawamura, 1998 is sunk to a junior synonym of elzunia Bryk, 1939.

Adult behavior of Luehdorfia japonica Leech (Lepidoptera, Papilionidae) was studied by the mark-release-recapture method in the habitat at Toyono-cho, Osaka Prefecture, Japan from the middle of April to the beginning of May, 1996. The adults were captured at the emergence site in the habitat at the foot of a hill (400m a.s.l.)and at the peak (530m a.s.l.) where territorial males were observed. The number of adults captured and marked was 15 for males and 8 for females, and that of recapture was 10 and 4, respectively, during the study period. The males had a tendency to move from the emergence site at the foot to the peak of the hill, and to remain at the peak for territorial behavior. The virgin females also appeared at the peak and mated with a patrolling male at the site. These results may indicate that both males and females of the adults move from their emergence site to the peak for the purpose of mating. A mated female was recaptured at the other side of the foot 1km distant from the marked site 8 days after release. This suggests that the mated females disperse from their emergence site to the other site.

Relationship between flower visiting activity and environmental factors in the Danaidae butterflies was investigated in the butterfly house. The flower visiting activities of Idea leuconoe showed two peaks in the morning and afternoon on a fine day. But on a cloudy day, their activities showed a unimodal peak at noon. These results suggest that their activities were depressed by high temperature. In Anosia genutia, the flower visiting activities were not depressed by high temperature on a fine day. But, their activities were more depressed by low light intensity and low temperature than in I. leuconoe on a cloudy day.
