''Shirozua jonasi'', the Orange Hearstreak, is a butterfly of the Lycaeninae family. It was described by Janson in 1877. It is found in the Russian Far East (Amur, Ussuri), north-eastern China, Korea and Japan.〔(Shirozua at funet )〕 It is widely distributed in the forest belt. Above the butterfly is uniformly orange-yellow, only the extreme apex and the tail black. The white discal line is single,and proximally shaded with dark; the discocellular line is likewise dark and single. Seitz "''Z. jonasi'' Jans. Above uniformly orange-yellow, only the extreme apex and the tail black. Beneath similar to ''Japonica lutea'' (Hewitson, 1865), but the white discal line not double, but single, being proximally shaded with dark; the discocellular line likewise dark and single. — In the north of China and Japan; apparently not plentiful,flying about young trees in August." 〔 Adalbert Seitz ''Die Großschmetterlinge der Erde'', Verlag Alfred Kernen, Stuttgart Band 1: Abt. 1, Die Großschmetterlinge des palaearktischen Faunengebietes, Die palaearktischen Tagfalter, 1909, 379 Seiten, mit 89 kolorierten Tafeln (3470 Figuren) 〕 Adults are on wing from mid-July to the end of August. The larvae feed on ''Quercus variabilis'', ''Quercus dentata'', ''Quercus acutissima'', ''Quercus serrata'', ''Castanea crenata'', ''Quercus mongolica'', ''Lachrus tropicalis'' and ''Kermes miyasaleii''. The larvae develop early in spring and are attended by ants of the ''Lasius'' genus (''Lasius spathepus'', ''Lasius fuliginosus'' and ''Lasius morisitai''). The young larvae feed on young leaves and aphids. Older larvae prey on a variety of homopterans and drink their honeydew excretions. Pupation takes place in the soil near the base of the host tree.〔(The Host Genera of Ant-Parasitic Lycaenidae Butterflies: A Review )〕 ==Subspecies== *''Shirozua jonasi jonasi'' *''Shirozua jonasi sichuanensis'' Sugiyama, 2004 (China: Sichuan) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Shirozua jonasi」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
