characters, composition of esterase isozymes, size of Y-chromosome, life history and habitat preference. The frequency of genes responsible for the elytral colour pattern is also different in the two species. Table 1 shows the distribution of the four main morphs in the collected Korean material. The morphs are recognized as follows: conspicua : two large red spots on black ground colour; spectabilis: four large red spots on black ground colour; axyridis : twelve medium-sized yellow spots on black ground colour; succinea: nineteen small black spots on yellow ground colour, spots sometimes reduced to disappearing or fused. Other rare morphs have not been found among the specimens. Morph-names are not protected by the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature and indicate simply the phenotypes of the elytral colour pattern, as used by SASAJI (1981). The frequency of the preapically ridged elytra is also shown in Table 1. The material obtained from Mt. Kumgang-san is richer and more comparable, therefore it is treated apart from those of the other regions. It is rather curious that the axyridis-morph has not turned up from among the genuine axyridis-species. Table 1.
