The larva lives upon Vangueria Spinosa Roxbi in symbiosis with the ant 

 Oecophylla Smaragdina F. a complete biological description of this species 

 with excellent illustrations has been published by Ed\\\ Jacobson in the Tijd- 

 schrift voor Entomologie, LV, (191 2), extracts from which are given in the 

 Introduction. The larva is of the usual Lycaenid shape, green with two longi- 

 tudinal stripes, coloured alternately brown and white which unite at the posterior 

 end, and with an indistinct dark green dorsal line. The pupa is also of the 

 usual form attached to a twig by some fine tissue along the outer side; the 

 observer did not discover any girdle-thread. It is green, sometimes mottled 

 with brown.
