Feeling a need to revise the list of Rhopalocers species native to Je Ju Island, I gathered over a period of five years samples from 35 different parts of Je Ju Island, with special emphasis on Mt. Halla.
In this way, I gathered and classified 1,000 speciments. In addition, I studied 5 authoritative works on the subject.

These works list seven families with 100 species. I collected 62 of the reported existing 100 sepcies that is 62% of the known spseies.
Among the specis I was not able to collect, I am not certain of 12 ; 8 of these are not recorded by Je Ju island scholars and five are not recorded by any Korean scholars. II species, it seems, should be removed from the list of known Rhopalocera species. In other words, 23 speies must be held in question for the present.
