cannot be certain about either determination, he is never- 
theless quite sure that the species are different. 
18. Lycaenesthes sp.? alberta, Bethune-Baker. 
The associated ant was Cremastogaster buchneri xv. clari- 
ventris. 
The specimens are stunted so that their determination 
was difficult. Mr. Bethune-Baker, however, after com- 
paring them with the type of alberta, considers that they 
probably belong to the same species. 
The following note refers to three bred specimens, | ¢

No. 705.. Mar. 24, 1912. “The larvae of these 
Lycaenidae were all obtained at Idakun on one plant on 
March 13. A dorsal gland and tubercles were present in 
the usual situation and a great number of ants, rather 
different from any others I have sent, were in attendance.” 
The ants, which numbered 31, have been determined as 
C. buchnert, Forel, r. clarwentris, Mayr. 
All three pupated Mar. 15 and emerged Mar. 23. 
19. Lycaenesthes liodes, Hew. 
This species has a green, onisciform, leaf-eating larva. 
Notes as to a bred specimen are as follows :— 
No. 719, male, April 1, 1912. “This larva had both 
dorsal gland and tubercles in the usual region. Three ants 
were in attendance on it when found.” These were 
despatched home but were lost, probably in the post. The 
imago and its pupa-case arrived safely. 
Larva in forest, 14 miles E., Mar. 20; pupation, Mar. 23; — 
emergence, Mar. 30. 
20. Lycaenesthes silvanus, Drury. 
The associated ants were Pheidole aurivilli vr. kasaiensis 
(probably) and Camponotus akwapimensis v. poultoni. 
A preliminary note as to the relationship between the 
larvae of this species and ants was communicated to this 
Society by Prof. Poulton in 1911 (Proceedings, p. civ). 
The larvae are green and onisciform, and are leaf-eaters. 
No. 553, A, B. Twomales. Dec. 4,1911. ‘ The larva 
was found on a leaf with ants in attendance.” 
Ten P. aurwill kasamensis are probably the specimens 
referred to, but decisive data are wanting.
