of the small forms has come out so far. I have a few to 
come, reared from the same plant at Agege, just to find out 
if there is any difference. They are fine large forms, 
rather resembling the famous “ Camponotus maculatus ” 
form [Catochrysops phasma, p. 392]. I have sent you the 
pupa-cases also. They have a most distinct silk girdle 
placed about the middle of the body. I was disappointed 
to find that it was not the gorgeous “‘ Copper,” but I may 
get these one day. 
C. Notes ON THREE LYCAENINAE, THEIR PARASITES, 
AND Two Morus, FEEDING ON THE ANT-INFESTED 
FLOWERS OF PTEROCARPUS ESCULENTA SCHUM. AND 
THONN. (LEGUMINOSAE). 
| The following material illustrates Farquharson’s notes :— 
I. Lepidoptera. 
1. Deudoriz (Pilodeudorixz) diyllus Hew.—l0 9 9, 
emerging March 11-20, 1917, each of the first 10 with its 
precise pupa-case. Emergence takes place about 8.0 or 
9.0 a.m., as may be inferred from the following data on 
the labels: 8.0—9Q; about 8.0— 9; after 8.0 — 99; 
after 8.30— 49; 9.0— 4. An example of the larva, 
which is distinguished from that of camerona by its more 
tuberculate appearance, is figured by Dr. Eltringham on 
Pl. XII, fig. 14, p. 484; and a g pupa on Pl. XIII, fig. 8, 
p. 484. The pupa resembles aa a small scale those of 
Deudorizx antalus and odana. The female imagines of this 
species and camerona are briefly described by Mr. Bethune- 
Baker on p. 464. 
2. Deudorix (Pilodeudorix) camerona Plétz.—2°9 2 9, 
emerging March 15-18, 1917, a 2 of March 15,4“ afer 
8.30 a.m. A Os March 16, bears the note “ ? Less tuber- 
culate larva,” and a 9, March 18—* Smooth larva.” 
3. Lycaenesthes musagetes Holl.—1 9, emerging March 
18,1917. It bears the note “ From green onisciform larva.” 
The early stages of this species, as of diyllus and camerona, 
were unknown. |

these three Lycaenidae-see Proc. Ent. Soc., 1917, p. 1x1. 
4. Maruca testulalis Hiibn.: Pyralidae, Pyraustinae.— 
1, emerging March 13, 1917. A moth of world-wide 
distribution. 
5. Olethreutes sp. nr. wahlbergiana Z.: Tortricidae.— 
1, emerging March 11, 1917.
