line, increasing in brightness and breadth towards the anal 
angle of both wings, but stronger in the hind-wing. The 
very peculiar pattern of the under surface is also visible 
through the shghtly transparent wings and gives to the 
insect a peculiar and characteristic appearance. The 
upper surface of the male represented in fig. 35 is transi- 
tional towards that above described. KE. B. P.] 
The larvae were of the usual green onisciform type. The 
following note, referring to specimens numbered 605, 607, 
609, 615, was written on Jan. 18, 1912 :— 
““T am sending a long series of these Lycaenids grouped 
for the sake of precision under several numbers. The 
larvae of all, except those labelled 604, came off one shrub 
near Oni Clearing, on and about Jan. 10, 1912. The two, 
labelled 604, were taken, Jan. 11,4 mile EK. of camp. These 
larvae were always found under leaves and in groups which 
I have kept distinct, and all were ant-attended. They 
showed a tendency to conceal themselves by drawing 
leaves together, especially when about to pupate. The 
eight larvae the imagos of which are numbered 615 were 
found together and six of them pupated under a leaf lightly 
attached to the wall of the box. House-ants replaced in 
most cases the usual attendant ants. I have mislaid a note 
on the position of the dorsal gland but it is present in the 
usual situation, and the paired tubercles were extruded on 
weak tactile stimulation. 
“The larvae were all leaf-green, but became reddish, 
and exhibited oblique stripes of a lighter shade about 36 
hours before pupation. All the imagos emerged about 
8 to 9 a.m.—never earlier—and all flew about 10-10.30 
a.m.” [605 C, D and 607 J appear to have been excep- 
tions. | 
The history of these 4 separate groups is as follows :— 
No. 605. Six larvae found together under one leaf were 
attended by 18 ants, P. aurivillai kasaiensis, and 1 male 
and 5 female butterflies were bred from them. 
No. 607. Five larvae, under one leaf, attended by 18 
P. aurwillui kasmiensis, gave 2 male and 3 female butterflies. 
No. 609. Two larvae under one leaf, which were attended 
by 7 P. aurwillii kasaiensis, gave 1 male and 1 female 
butterfly. 
No. 615. Hight larvae under one leaf were attended by 
no less than 41 P. aurwilli kasaiensis. Six male and 2 
female butterflies were bred from these.
