LARVAE AND PUP.E OF BUTTERFLIES. 373 



It forms a close cell, usually by joining two leaves at the edges. 

 The pupa is formed in this.

This resembles the last, but is proportionally longer. The head 

 is very large and rounded, and of a bright red colour, chequered with 

 black. The centre of the back is blue, with three black, longitudi- 

 nal lines ; the sides are yellow, with transverse blue and black mark- 

 ings. The pupa is regular and moderately stout, of a bluish-white 

 colour, with four rows of small black spots on the abdominal seg- 

 ments, and a black diamond on the middle of the back. We got 

 several of these in September, but could not identify the food- plant, 

 or procure any more of it. Consequently they all perished but one, 

 and it became a very stunted pupa. The figure and description 

 were taken like a " dying deposition," and are not so satisfactory as 

 we could have wished. 



89. Badamia cxclamationis, Fabricius. 



At the beginning of the rains of 1889 we found great numbers of 

 these on several different trees, but we had not begun to make these 

 notes at that time and kept no description, and this year we have 

 not found one. All we can say from memory is that the larva bore 

 a general resemblance to those of the last two, being variegated in 

 colour and variable. The pupa was stout and regular, not unlike 

 that of P. chromus, but attached itself to the sides and top of the 



cage. 



90. Tapena thuriitesi, Moore. 



We found a single specimen of this in August on Doris scandens, 

 of the small leaves of which it made a rough cell for itself. It be- 

 came a pupa before we could write a description of it, so we can 

 only say that it was of a uniform, creamy-white colour, the head 

 being large and white also, with a brown border line. The pupa 

 was slender, but regular, with head-case pointed.

Larva smooth, slightly depressed, thickest a little in front of the 

 middle, neck slender, head large, bilobed, lobes diverging and
