Provisional list of butterflies in the R yukyu Islands

By

Tetsuo TAKARA*

Introduction

Though there are numerous literatures about kinds of butter­ flies indigenous to the Ryukyus and their distribution, most of them are incomplete ones. Sonan, J. (1924) collected 82 species (including subspecies) as indigenous ones of the Ryukyu islands. Kishida, K. and Y. Nakamura (1936) arranged 97 species (including subspecies) as indigenous ones of the Ryukyus in the book of Entomological World, vol. 4 under the heading of Butterflies indigenous to . But sil1ce then, some changes in the scientific names have been made public. In this literature, all records so far found are put in order, scientific names are settled, and new knowledges pertaining to dis­ tribution are added. Since here included some species which are in original literatures but not seen by the author, it is unavoidable to have some incompleteness in it. These points will be l"econsidered as specimens are completed. Meanwhile, this literature will be published withollt delay. It is very fortunate if the literature is used for referrences to know butterflies found in the Ryukyus. The author wishes to acknowledge his gratitude to Dr. Teiso Esaki and Takashi Shirozu of the Kyushu University for their kind instructions and advices, and furthermore, for their generosity of lending me their literatures in publishing the book. 1. The Ryukyus in this literature is the same as Okinawa pre­ fecture before the war. 2. The distributions of butterflies are mentioned only of main islands of the Ryukyus. 3. Host- are those growing in the Ryukyus.
