Lepidoptera, Papilionidae. Forewing length 25-30mm. Body is covered with yellow hairs. Wings are translucent with a yellow tinge, forewings are mostly dark, and hindwings usually have two red markings. Larvae feed on the alpine plant Dicentra, and one generation takes two years. Adults appear in June-July. They are distributed in cold regions surrounding the Arctic, and in Japan, the subspecies P. e. daisetsuzana is found only in the alpine zone of Mt. Daisetsu in Hokkaido, but collection is prohibited as a natural monument. The genus Parnassius is represented by the European Apollo butterfly P. apollo , and is the most prized group among butterfly collectors. It lacks a tail on the hindwing and at first glance resembles Aporia of the Pieridae family, but the forewing veins are different and the larvae have a strong-smelling stink horn.

鱗翅目アゲハチョウ科。前翅長 25~30mm。体に黄色の長毛が多い。翅は半透明で黄色を帯び,前翅は暗色部が多く,後翅には普通2個の赤色紋がある。幼虫は高山植物のコマクサを食べ,1世代に2年を要する。成虫は6~7月に出現する。北極を取巻く寒冷地に分布し,日本では北海道大雪山の高山帯にのみ亜種 P. e. daisetsuzanaを産するが,天然記念物として採集が禁止されている。なお Parnassius属はヨーロッパのアポロチョウ P. apolloによって代表され,チョウ収集家の間で最も珍重されているグループである。後翅に尾状突起を欠き,一見シロチョウ科のエゾシロチョウ属 Aporiaに似るが,前翅の翅脈が異なり,幼虫には強い臭いのする臭角がある。
