A, Biology}, month = {Dec}, note = {The occipital morphology of 54 species belonging to Nymphalidae and Libytheidae was studied with reference to its bearing on phylogenical grouping. 1. The occipital region consists of three main parts, viz. dorsal part of occiput, postocular plate and occipital foramen. Further the dorsal part of occiput is divisible into occipital prominence, intermediate plate and connection part, and postocular plate into marginal furrow, scale region and basal part of occiput. 2. Libytheidae is distinguished from Nymphalidae by main three characters. 3. The occipital morphology in Charaxinae is greatly different from that of the other subfamilies in Nymphalidae. It seems suitable to separate Charaxinae from Nymphalidae. 4. The occipital morphology in Dichorragia nesimachus nesiotes differs from that of Apaturinae markedly. 5. In the genus Limenitis, L. populi is very different from L. glorifica and L. camilla in the occipital morphology, and so it is inacceptable to treat them as one genus. 6. Vanessa indica and Cynthia cardui are so similar to each other in the occipital morphology that it is unable to treat them as the different genus., Article, Journal of the Faculty of Textile Science and Technology, Shinshu University.
