Introduction

The life history of L. puziloi has been illustrated by Shirozu and Hara (1973) and Nardelli (1993). Biochemical and biological aspects of the life history of L. puziloi have been the subject of a number of studies by Matsumoto (1984-1990), Matsumoto et al. (1993), and Tsubaki and Matsumoto (1998). Hybrids between L. japonica and L. puziloi have been reported (Hara and Ochiai, 1980). There has been some controversy about the authorship of the ssp. linjiangensis; details are reported under L. taibai.

Geographical Distribution

Northern China, southeast Russia, North- and South Korea, Japan (Shirozu and Hara, 1973).

Geographical Variation

At least seven subspecies are recognized within L. puziloi. According to Fujioka (2003), the nominal subspecies, L. p. puziloi Erschoff, 1872 (Type locality: Ussuri region) is confined to southeast Russia, together with L. p. machimuraorum Fujioka, 2003 (Type locality: Russia: Okhotniki, upper Bikin River). According to Bryk (1934), two subspecies, L. p. yessoensis Rothschild, 1918 (Type locality: Hakodate Yezzo, Japan) and L. p. inexpecta Sheljuzhko, 1913 (Type locality: Sendai, Japan) are known from Japan, and the populations on the Korean peninsula belong to L. p. coreana Matsumura, 1919 (Type locality: Kaishu, Korea). In China, two subspecies are known: L. p. linjangensis Lee, 1982 (Type locality: China) and L. p. lenzeni Bryk, 1938 (Type locality unknown) (Savela, 2005).

Larval Food Plant

The larvae of L. puziloi feed on Asarum sieboldii (Chunsheng, 2001) as well as some species of Asiasarum (Makita et al., 2000).

This page is a Tree of Life Leaf Page.

Each ToL leaf page provides a synopsis of the characteristics of a group of organisms representing a leaf at the tip of the Tree of Life. The major distinction between a leaf and a branch of the Tree of Life is that a leaf cannot generally be further subdivided into subgroups representing distinct genetic lineages.

For a more detailed explanation of the different ToL page types, have a look at the Structure of the Tree of Life page.
