Subspecies. The Korean populations belong to subsp. morii.
Adult. Active from mid June to early September (one brood). Males spend much time perched in the crowns of trees. They feed on fermenting fluids such as the fluxes of oak trees. Male territorial behavior is not often observed. Females are sometimes encountered on rocks or shrubs near streams, but they are also seen feeding on decomposing organisms or fermenting fluids.
Larval host plants. Celtis jessoensis, Celtis sinensis, etc. (Joo et al. 1997).
Life cycle. Usually the 3rd instar larvae hibernate on undersides of fallen leaves on the ground below the food plants. See Harada and Igarashi (1993).
Distribution. Korea (excluding northern part of the Korean Peninsula, but including Ulleungdo Is.), China, central Taiwan (high altitude areas), Myanmar and eastern India.
