362 Mr. C. O. Baeetharson's Five Years’ Observations 
4. Argiolaus iulus Hew. (Farquharson’s F).—2 4, 
emerging Feb. 25, 1917, and Jan. 23, 1918. Each is 
accompanied by its pupa-case (Farquharson’s “ decorated 
pupa”). Both larvae were from L. incanus on Alstonia, 
although Farquharson specially notes on the label of the 
1918 3 that he had bred it before from the same Loranthus 
on Funtunia. The 1917 pupa is figured (Pl. XIII, fig. 4; 
p. 480). This species was also bred by Lamborn from 
larvae on a parasitic climbing plant. He notes that they 
had a dorsal gland and were attended by a race of Cremasto- 
gaster buchnert (Trans. Ent. Soc., 1913, pp. 474-5). 
5. Argiolaus maesa Hew. (Farquharson’s H and “‘ Gall”’). 
—4 91 9, emerging Aug. 14-24, 1915: all with precise 
pupa-cases. Larvae on flowers of L. incanus on Alstonia, 
never on the same Loranthus on Funtumia. The larva is 
also found on an allied Loranthus on Antiaris at Agege. 
The figured pupa is an ichneumoned one which has kept 
its shape better than an empty case. It was collected by 
Lamborn at Moor Plantation (Pl. XIII, fig. 17; p. 481). 
6. Hpamera laon Hew. (Farquharson’s E).—1 3: pupa- 
tion Jan. 16, emergence Jan. 31, 1918. Mole-coloured 
larva on flowers of L. incanus on Funtumia. A 3 pupa 
collected by Lamborn at Oni, 70 miles E. of Lagos, is 
figured (Pl. XIII, fig. 15; p. 481). The characteristic 
position of this pupa, across the stem, was noted on the 
specimen by Lamborn, Feb. 18, 1912. 
7. Epamera ivasis Hew. (Farquharson’s D).—5 ¢ 7 9, 
emerging Jan. 11—Feb. 11, 1918.. The 9 of Jan. 11 is 
accompanied by its pupa-case, which, although somewhat 
flattened by the packing, still shows its position across 
the stem of Loranthus, near to a“ cushion ”’ (p. 368) which 
it resembles. All the larvae were on flowers of L. incanus 
on Funtumia. This larva replaces the commonest, A. 
paneperata, and becomes itself the most abundant when 
the flowers mature and open. They are pink or red 
when young and may become yellow or yellow-orange 
later on, thus matching the changing colour of the flower. 
The last consignment of #. casis included a dwarfed 3 
probably of A. paneperata (p. 361) and 2 3 of EF. mirabilis 
(p. 363). 
8. Epamera farquharsoni B.-B. (Farquharson’s C).— 
239 7 9, emerging Jan. 9-14, 1918, the first 6 being 9. 
The first. gj and seventh 9, of Jan. 13, emerged about 
2 p.m. The pupa-cases are of much interest. The 9 of
