Oni and by Carpenter in Uganda, and ranging to Natal. 
The two mid-dorsal glands are characteristic of Lyman- 
tridae. | 
March 1, 1917.—The larvae are very remarkable, being 
very hairy, and, on the naked parts between the tufts 
and bands of hairs, brightly pigmented with red, green, 
yellow, and perhaps other colours—such colours as one 
associates with Lymantrid caterpillars. The larva is more 
moth-larva-like even than Hewitsonia, though of the same 
general character, even to the little “sucker” that is 
found on the outside upper edge of the pro-legs [pp. 352, 
355, 383, 485], which is retracted when the foot is lifted and 
exserted when it touches the bark of the tree or whatever 
the larva is walking upon. 
3. Teratoneura Larvae and Ants. 
March 1, 1917.—The fact recorded in the last paragraph 
[of the section on Pupation, p. 346] led me to look for 
evidence of attacks by the larvae on Coccids, but with 
entirely negative results. Except when about*to pupate 
they are never found on leaves nor among the Coccids. 
Up and down the stems of the two big trees a busy column 
of ants in loose formation about 5 to 8 deep is constantly 
running. They do not appear to stop night or day, for 
I have gone down after dark to see if the larvae could 
possibly be night-feeders. I have seen several larvae on 
the way to pupate wandering down the column in a 
leisurely way; ants coming in the opposite direction turn 
aside, those coming behind keep a respectful distance. 
There is no hostility shown, nor yet friendly attentions 
such as mark their behaviour to possessors of Guenée 
glands. It is really extremely difficult to get the larva 
to leave the ant-column. I have pushed them away, but 
they persistently return. A tiny twig intruded among the 
ants is immediately attacked. 
4. The Larval Food of Teratoneura. 
March 1, 1917.—I haven’t seen any of them feeding so far, 
as I have seen Hewitsonia larvae, at least apparently feeding. 
I think they feed high up the tree, but I have examined the 
frass microscopically and am to send you a specimen or 
two by this mail [not received]. It is a mixture of vegetable 
débris of a very odd kind, little bits of tissue, I think 
cortical, largely sclerenchymatous in one or two smears I 
have made—I got a fine bunch of store-cells in one, fungus
