Abstract

In 1972, during eight days, in early April, we made a short hunting trip to Luzon Island in Philippines. We collected six different places, namely, Mt. Santo Thomas (ca. 2250 m), Ashin Hot Spring (ca. 300 m), the Botanical Garden in the Bureau of Forestry at Baguio (ca. 1500 m), Tagaytay (ca. 1000 m), the Quezon National Park at Atimonan (ca. 300 m), and the lowland near Manila. In the spring of 1971, one of us (H.O.) also visited Luzon Island, and collected during only a few days in Mt. Santo Thomas, Ashin, and Tagaytay. The following list of the Luzonian butterflies in early April contains the butterflies collected as well as those only observed (the latter being marked with an asterisk), enumerating 129 species, of which two species and seven subspecies are new to science. We are much indebted to Mr. Hermel Nuyda and his son Mr. Robert Nuyda for supplying us with many precious materials and for their kind advice. Sincere thanks are due to Prof. Dr. Takashi Shirozu for giving me a copy of Semper's work. We wish to express our cordial gratitude to Mr. Peping Pascual for accompanying us on collecting trips. Further, Prof. Dr. Michiko Hida and her staff in the Botanical Laboratory of the Osaka Prefectural Women's University have kindly permitted us to use the equipments for our microscopic examination.
