Relationship between certain West African Insects. 477 
The above note refers to a single specimen, but the 
letterig probably indicates that the 2 larvae were found 
together. 
A, Larva in forest, 1 mile E., Nov. 23, 1911; pupation, 
Nov. 26; emergence, about 3 p.m. Dec. 3. B, Larva in 
forest, 1 mile E.; emergence, about 3 p.m. Dec. 6. No 
other data. 
No. 616, male. Jan. 18, 1912. ‘‘ The larva was found 
in the forest, 14 miles E., on Jan. 11, with two ants in 
attendance. It had both dorsal gland and tubercles, the 
former hard to see owing to the absence of any special 
pigmentation.” 
The two ants were C. akwapimensis v. poultoni. 
Pupation, Jan. 15; emergence, Jan. 22. 
21. Lycaenesthes larydas, Cram. 
The associated ants were Camponotus akwapimensis 
v. poultons and Pherdole aurivillii r. kasaiensis. 
A note on the relationship between these larvae and ants 
was communicated on my behalf by Prof. Poulton to this 
Society in 1911 (Proceedings, p. civ). 
The larvae of this species were green and onisciform in 
shape and ate leaves. The notes referring to a long series 
are as follows :— 
No. 611. L. larydas 3. “Jan. 18, 1912. The larva of 
this Lycaenid, found in the forest near Oni Clearing on 
Jan. 10, possessed both gland and tubercles, which were 
sometimes protruded when I tickled it.” It ate the food- 
plant of the Pierine Terias senegalensis, Boisd., and 3 ants 
in attendance on it were C. akwapimensis v. poultoni. 
Pupation, Jan. 13; emergence, about 2 p.m., Jan. 21. 
No. 613. JL. larydas, 9, tending to kersteni, Gerst. 
“The larva was found 4 mile east of our camp on Jan. 8, 
1912, and two ants were in attendance.’’ These also were 
C. akwapimensis v. poultoni. 
Pupation, Jan. 13; emergence, Jan. 21. 
No. 614. L. larydas, 9, tending to kersteni. “ Jan. 18, 
1912. The larva possessed a dorsal gland, but the orifice 
was hard to see, not being marked out by pigment. Two 
white tubercles were present and were protruded on 
tickling with a wisp of cotton wool.” Larva in the forest 
near Oni Camp; imago emerged Jan. 22. No other data. 
No. 617. L. larydas, 3. “The larva was found on 
Jan. 8, 1912, in forest } mile E. of Camp. There was only
