Araschnia burejana is a butterfly fromthe noble butterfly family (Nymphalidae). It is widespread in East Asia and shows a clear seasonal dimorphism like the closely related map .
description
Araschnia burejana is slightly larger than the map and very similar to it. It has an evenly corrugated edge of the hind wing, on which the end of the anterior median branch is not angular. In the spring form forma (abbreviated f.) Strigosa Butler 1866, which has a wingspan of 33 to 39 millimeters, the black drawing elements are increased on the upper side of the wing, so that this color can already be seen as the base and the bandage of the following summer form is already evident . At the apex of the fore wing there is a distinct black eye with an ocher-colored ring and a white pupil. The root field of the hind wings is broader black with a broader yellow band, which continues at an obtuse angle to the middle of the fore wings.
The summer form f. fallax Janson , 1877 corresponds to the summer form f. prorsa of the map, except that the rear part of the forewing bandage is steeper, perpendicular to the rear end, while at f. prorsa is inclined obliquely to the wing root.
distribution
Araschnia burejana occurs in the Ussuri and Amur regions , central and western China, Korea and Japan. It lives in mixed forests up to an altitude of 1300 meters.
Way of life
The first generation of moths flies in the Amur region from May to June and the second from July to August. The caterpillars feed on nettles ( Urtica ) in Japan .
Systematics
Araschnia burejana was developed by Otto Bremer Vasilyevich , 1861 in Volume 13 of the Bulletin de l'Académie Impériale des Sciences de St. Petersbourg first described . The 10 animals were caught in the Bureja Mountains from mid-May to mid-July and came from the first generation. Araschnia burejana leechi Oberthür , 1909 is the spring form of Araschnia doris , as could be proven by genital examinations , and not a subspecies of Araschnia burejana .
