Studies on photoperiodism and diapause of about 50 species of butterflies were reviewed, with special reference to the seasonal adaptation of their life cycles. The topics included are: 1) life cycle patterns (voltinism and diapause characteristics), 2) diapause in different stages (egg, larval, pupal, and adult diapause), 3) seasonal polyphenism (environmental factors involved and adaptive significance), 4) photoperiodic responses (photo-receptor, photoperiodic time measurement, and photoperiodic counter), 5) thermoperiodic response, 6) endocrine regulations of seasonal adaptation (larval, pupal, and adult diapause, and seasonal-form determination), 7) tolerance to cold, and 8) evolution of seasonal adaptation in butterflies.
