388 Mr. C. O. Ha itarions Five Years’ Observations 
upper surface of the wings is black, the under of a pattern 
very like that of lachares.. I have spirit material of the 
Coccids and have attendant ants. The other imago will 
emerge to-morrow. The larva was green (dull), onisciform, 
with just a hint of a white line along the edge of the mantle 
and a slightly lighter mid-dorsal line. There was a gland, 
but I could not see any sign of tubercles. 
Aug. 11, 1918.—Before tr forget | must clear up the point 
about the Imbricaria-Coccid-eater. The larvae were not 
fully fed when I collected them. Fearmg that I might 
lose them, I cut off a twig with the Coccids on it, end com- 
pleted the life-history in my house. [This was in answer 
to a letter in which I pointed out the extreme interest of 
the observation and the importance of confirming it. 
Lamborn had shown that the larvae of the allied 7. luere- 
vilis Hew. is associated with Coccid-tending ants, but did 
not think that they were carnivorous (Trans. Ent. Soc., 
1913, p. 486). Farquharson’s notes suggested further 
observation of this latter species. “Lamborn had seen the 
larvae eating the dark green cortex of a soft plant, but at 
some later stage they may have attacked the ant-tended 
Coccids he found in tunnels in the same stems. | 
G. THe Larva or LACHNOCNEMA BIBULUS F., FEEDING ON 
SECRETION OF IMMATURE ANT-ATTENDED MEMBRACIDS 
AND ON Living MEMSGRACIDS AND JASSIDS: 1TS PUPA 
ATTENDED BY CAMPONOTUS. 
[1. The material of the 1915 note :— 
Lachnocnema bibulus F.—1 2 (var. with quadrate pale 
spot outside end of F.W. cell), emerging June 4, 1915; with 
pupa-case, and a % of Camponotus maculatus F., sub-sp. 
melanocnenis Santschi, bearing note “ Actual ant found in 
association with lLycaenid pupa.” Many additional 
workers were sent: see p. 423. | 
July 3, 1915.—No. 5 is a Lycaenid about which I am 
very curious to hear. I found the pupa near an exit of 
the large Camponotus var. [nest : see p. 423], with the ant 
5b apparently stroking it with its antennae. This may 
have been accidental. You will be able to judge when 
you see the Lycaenid (if it reaches you safely), for it may 
be one described, as regards its relationships, by Lamborn. 
Till I hear from you on this point I will make no further 
comment. 5a is its pupa-case.
