Subspecies. The Korean populations are considered to belong to subsp. coreanus.
Adult. Active from mid June to late August (one brood). Males are often seen sitting on the ground or sucking water from the ground. They also feed 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. Celtis jessoensis, Celtis sinensis, Aphananthe spp., etc. of Ulmaceae (Kim 1965).
Life cycle. The 4th or 5th instar larvae hibernate mainly on undersides of fallen leaves on the ground below the food plants (Fig. 14). See Harada and Igarashi (1993).
Distribution. Korea (excluding northeastern mountainous areas of the Korean Peninsula, but including Jejudo Is. and some adjacent islands of Incheon and Gyeonggi-do), China, Taiwan and Japan.
