III. MISCELLANEOUS OBSERVATIONS ON 
RHOPALOCERA. 
A. NOTES ON BREEDING CERTAIN NYMPHALINAE. 
1. Charaxes etheocles Cr.—[An account of the series of 
specimens, with male-like females, bred by C. O. Farquhar- 
son and W. A. Lamborn, has been published in Proc. Ent. 
Soe., 1918, p. Ixxxii.] 
Oct. 16, 1915.—The larvae were obtained from the same 
plot of Adenanthera pavonina at Moor Plantation. I have 
rarely seen more than one or two at a time. 
July 26, 1915.—I have five Charaxes pupae just now, 
but this will be the last for a time, for the young trees 
on which they feed are being transplanted. These trees 
also one day were raided by drivers. The place is simply 
alive with them just now owing to the dull weather. 
2. Charaxes varanes vologeses Mab.—|{'The bred specimens 
referred to below are a male, emerging June 22, 1917, and 
a female which pupated June 12. | 
Oct. 18, 1917.—I had rather a bit of bad luck over them, 
for I chased the mother all over a ten-acre field of ground- 
beans between the burning hours of 11 and 12 noon, only 
to lose her. I raised three from the eggs I saw her lay 
before I got home for my net. However, I may have better 
luck next time. 
3. Palla violinitens Crowley._{The following note, 
written from Kew, almost certainly refers to a female of 
this species labelled with Farquharson’s initials, but no 
other data. Its position in the Moor Plantation collection 
proves that it was bred or collected in 1913 or 1914.] 
Oct. 20, 1914.—I bred out a very nice Charazxes before 
leaving, or rather it was a pupa when I left and a friend 
sent it on. I do not know the name of the host-plant, 
which had at the time neither flower nor fruit, but may 
know it again. The larva had purple blotches on the skin. 
4. Euphaedra ravola Hew.—{Of the bred specimens 
referred to, 1 ¢ emerged Aug. 22, 1915; 1 9 5 9—7.0 a.m. 
Aug. 23; 1 9—Aug. 24. All have precise pupa-cases. 
Six families of this species were bred by W. A. Lamborn 
at Oni and the resemblances between their larvae and those 
of several other Nymphalines recorded in Proc. Ent. Soc., 
1912,:p. exix.]
