Seitz "Z. jonasi Jans. Above uniformly orange-yellow, only the extreme apex and the tail black. Beneath similar to Japonica lutea (Hewitson, 1865), but the white discal line not double, but single, being proximally shaded with dark; the discocellular line likewise dark and single. — In the north of China and Japan; apparently not plentiful,flying about young trees in August." [2]
Adults are on wing from mid-July to the end of August.
The larvae feed on Quercus variabilis , Quercus dentata , Quercus acutissima , Quercus serrata , Castanea crenata , Quercus mongolica , Lachrus tropicalis and Kermes miyasaleii . The larvae develop early in spring and are attended by ants of the genus Lasius ( Lasius spathepus , Lasius fuliginosus and Lasius morisitai ). The young larvae feed on young leaves and aphids. Older larvae prey on a variety of homopterans and drink their honeydew excretions. Pupation takes place in the soil near the base of the host tree. [3]
