Distribution.

Japan (Amamioshima Is., Okinawa Is. and Iriomote Is.). Outside Japan, this subspecies has been recorded from China, India, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, Nepal, Philippines, Singapore, Taiwan, Thailand and Vietnam ( Yu et al. 2016).

Bionomics.

In Japan, adults were collected in April, May, June, October and November. In Iriomote Is., the first author collected this species in the forest path with sunlight. We record a host, Pithecops corvus ryukyuensis Shirozu, 1964 ( Lepidoptera, Lycaenidae ), here.

Remarks.

This is the first record of this subspecies from Japan. No characteristics unique to the Japanese population were detected.
