The ratio of two colour forms was found to change with altitude. The cupreous-form dominated at high altitude, while the cyaneus-form dominated at low altitude. Detailed collections at the Utsukushigahara Heights and in their vicinity showed that the reducing proportion of the cyaneus-form did not occur gradually with increasing altitude but did so abruptly at a precise altitude for each site. This altitude was different for the south slope and the west slope. The increase in the percentage of the cupreous-form at high altitude is discussed in relation to three possible explanations., Article, 信州大学理学部紀要 14(2): 99-106(1980)}, pages = {99--106}, title = {On the colour polymorphism in Chrysolina aurichalcea (Mannerheim) (Coleoptera : Chrysomelidae) collected from four mountain districts.}, volume = {14}, year = {1980} }
