Abstract
暗色娜波灰蝶(Nacaduba pactolus hainani)係一種在臺灣已有數十年沒有觀察、採集記錄的蝶種，其臺灣亞種的寄主植物及生活史資料至今闕如。本研究調查確認數處仍有暗色娜波灰蝶族群棲息的地點，均位於南臺灣，同時並發現其寄主植物是豆科的鴨腱藤(Eetada rheedii)。
Nacaduba pactolus hainani is a rare lycaenid butterfly in Taiwan. There are no confirmed collection or observation records for decades. The host plant and immature biology of this lycaenid was unknown. We identify a few sites where this lycaenid butterfly still occurs and confirm its larval host as Entada rheedii (Fabaceae). An account on its immature biology is also given.
