or whitish peculiar marking upon the back, which is divided in two by a dark 

 dorsal line, which line is somewhat broadened in its most anterior portion ; 

 there are sometimes also two subdorsal lines. The pupa is of the uSual form, 

 and shows a great deal of black marbling upon a brownish or greenish ground. 

 As regards the pupae I must mention that in my descriptions of the 

 pupae which produced Lithargykia, the presence of a large round black spot 

 exactly at the boundary between thorax and abdomen is always noted, while 

 in my descriptions of the pupae of L. Strabo F. there is never any mention 

 of this spot. This should, therefore, be further examined. Pupae of May 4"', 

 July 14'^^, July 17"^ and October 7'^ produced butterflies upon May 1 i''', July 

 22°'^, July 2 5'^i and Oct. 14'^.

I found the larva often in the pods of katjang pandjang (Viana Catjang 

 Walk), but as it is of the same ordinary form as that of the larva of Lycaena 

 Boeticus L. which is also found in the same pods, and as the colour of 

 different individuals is not always the same, I am not absolutely certain that I 

 may not have confused there two larvae. I believe, however, that the illus- 

 trations here given really represent individuals of this species. The form is 

 the usual one of Lycaena larvae, the colour light green, with a darker dorsal 

 line. Other larvae are olive-green, and some even red. The pupa is also of 

 the usual Lycaenid form, light or olive-green, or light greenish brown, with 

 black dots and patches, which sometimes form a dorsal and two subdorsal
