same occasion a green pair and a blossom-like pair were also 

 captured in cop. Mr. Loveridge also took individuals exhibit- 

 ing a gradation between the two forms. With this evidence, 

 and especially that furnished by the pairing of the different 

 forms, there could be no reasonable doubt that Mr. Loveridge 

 was right in concluding that the Mrogoro forms were the same 

 species. 



A full account of the observations had been communicated 

 by Mr. Loveridge to the Zoological Society of London. It 

 should be added that neither Mr. Loveridge nor Mr. Feather 

 had seen the insects arranged in the manner represented by 

 Prof. Gregory in " The Great Rift Valley," an arrangement 

 which, however, had been confirmed by other naturalists. 



S. Nigerian Lycaeninae bred from larvae feeding on 



A SINGLE SPECIES OF LoRANTHUS. CaTOCHRYSOPS PHASMA, 

 NOT PARSIMON, PROVED TO BR MYRMECOPHILOUS. — Prof. 



Poulton exhibited the following eight species bred in 1917-18 

 by Mr. C. 0. Farquharson at Moor Plantation, near Ibadan, 

 S. Nigeria. Except when otherwise stated both sexes were 

 present. Mr. G. T. Bethune-Baker had kindly helped in the 

 determinations, some of which were difficult.

Mr. Farquharson had thus greatly extended the investiga- 

 tions briefly alluded to in Proc. Ent. Soc, 1917, p. lxi. The 

 -peril's of Catochrysops of which the pupae were found by 

 Mr. Farquharson in the subterranean nest of Camponotus 

 maculatus, F., was not parsimon, F., as stated on the page 

 referred to above. Mr. Bethune-Baker had examined the 

 male genitalia and found it to be C. phasma, Butl.
