of notice that in the forms Celeno Cram, and Alexis Stoll, that of the second 

 and third vertical lines, counting from the inside, sometimes the one and some- 

 times the other flows into the vertical line below it, which, however, only 

 causes individual changes in marking. I found the larvae upon katjangan 

 (Phaseolus spec) of which they devour the buds, and upon krintjingan (Crital- 

 LAKTA Retusa L.). They are of the usual Lycaena form. The young larvae 

 are light green ; the full-grown one is dark green, the back light coloured, with 

 a reddish dorsal line, which is here and there somewhat broader ; in the full- 

 grown larva there is also a brown subdorsal Une, and very small white dots, 

 which the microscope shows to be short white hairs. The pupa is light green, 

 dark green or clay coloured, with darker marbling forming three rows. Both 

 the larvae and pupae differ greatly in colour and shade. Pupae from 3'^'i, 5''^, 

 7* and 10* of August, produced butterflies on the 7''^, 15'*^, 13'*^ and 17'^ of 

 the month. 



De Niceville gives a description of the larva and pupa, which may be 

 reconciled with mine ; as a matter of fact it is very difficult to give an accurate 

 description of Lycaena larvae, owing to the great variety in individual colouring. 

 He found them in Calcutta upon Heynea Trijuga Rokb. and living in sym- 

 biosis with a species of ant, Camponotus Mitis Smith. Of this symbiosis I 

 have never observed anything. The reproductions of larva and pupa given by 

 SwiNHOE do not seem to me to be successful.

This species is unknown to me. The accompanying reproductions are 

 made from specimens collected in Java by Fruhstorfer. He regards them as 

 the subspecies Vardusia.

') In Fruhstorfer's opinion there should also be a Lampides parasaturata and a 

 Lampides gennadius. I only know these butterflies from the illustrations sent to me, but these, 

 in my opinion, do not give sufficient ground to justify their being taken as separate species.
