| Research Abstract |
The results obtained are summarized as follows : (1) Pleioblastus chino, Zoysia japonica were the dominat species at grazing sites. Miscanthus sinensis was the dominant species at non-grazing sites. (2) 64 butterfly species were identified including thirteen rare butterflies. (4) The butterfly species diversity of high grazing density site was less than at the customary grazing site and the low grazing site. Based on these results, it is concluded that it was benefit for the butterfly fauna that there are many variety of butterfly habitats under the different grazing intensity.
