Abstract
高砂燕灰蝶是一臺灣特有蝶種，過去其幼生期資料極其欠缺，除了一筆寄主植物記錄之外，往昔文獻完全沒有其他相關資料。本研究發兩種高砂燕灰蝶之新寄主植物、提供幼期習性與形態資料，並討論其分布。
Rapala takagsagonis Matsumura is a lycaenid butterfly endemic to Taiwan. Its immature biology was poorly understood, with only one host plant reported in the past. No information on the habits or morphology of R. takasagonis was available in literature. In the present study, two additional host plants are recorded, and an account on the bionomics, immature morphology and distribution is also given.
