Subspecies.
The populations in mainland
Korea
are considered to belong to subsp.
koreana
, while those on Jejudo Is. are considered to belong to subsp.
chejuensis
, both described by
Shimagami (2000)
, until which the name
nesiotes
had been widely used for the populations in the Korean Peninsula and its adjacent islands.
Adult.
Active from early May to late June and mid July to mid September (two broods). Males are often found on the ground near streams, and they are also seen feeding on decomposing organisms or fermenting sap fluid of oak trees. In the afternoon, they move to mountain peaks or ridges to sit on trees and engage in hilltopping. Females are attracted to fermenting fluids, especially fluxes issuing from oak trees.
Larval host plants.
Meliosma myriantha
Siebold and Zucc.
of the
Sabiaceae
(

) and
Ficus
spp. of the
Moraceae (
Kim 1965
)
.
Life cycle.
Not documented for the Korean populations. Usually pupae hibernate on shrubs near the food plants.

Korea
(including Jejudo Is., some adjacent islands of southern provinces, Incheon and Gyeonggi-do),
