Pupae of Lepidoptera, chiefly Lycaenidae. 475 
attached posteriorly to a leaf. The larval hairs combined 
with those of the posterior pupal segments are attached to 
the leaf in radiate formation. Length 15 mm. Lamborn, 
Oni. Emerged 22.2.12. 
Epitola miranda Staud. 
Pupa. I have not figured this pupa since it so closely 
resembles that of H. ceraunia that a separate illustration 
seems unnecessary. It is attached by the terminal seg- 
ments, which are themselves clothed with long white hairs, 
resting on a cushion formed from the old larval skin. The 
long axis of the pupa is at right angles to the plane of its 
support. The dark markings are less irregular than in 
ceraunia. The 2nd abdominal segment bears a_ black, 
bracket-shaped transverse streak. On lateral prominences 
of the abdominal segments are a few very small chitinanths, 
and from these prominences on the 2nd, 3rd and 4th seg- 
ments, there arise long fine bristles, which instead of pro- 
jecting, are curved round the wing-cases. This feature 
is not shared by the pupa of ceraunia. Length 15 mm.

Epitola concepeion Suff. Plate XII, fig. 13. 
Pupa. Very pale with a few dark markings as shown 
in the figure. Small lateral clusters of delicate hairs, 
and on head, thorax, and abdomen, tufts of long chitinous 
processes having flattened dentate extremities. A few 
short setae scattered sparsely over the cuticle, and much 
longer ones projecting from the terminal segments. Length 
12 mm. The example figured produced a male which 
emerged 2.11.13. Lamborn, Moor Plantation. 
Epitola honorius Fab. Plate XII, figs. 16, 17. 
Larva. (Fig. 17.) Medium dark ground-colour with 
still darker markings forming a rather complicated pattern. 
(Farquharson describes the general colour as_ brown.) 
Each segment with four tubercles from which arise tufts 
of fine sharp spines, and also longer delicate branched 
hairs. The whole cuticle is sparsely covered with fine 
short hairs. Length 16 mm. Farquharson, Shagamu.
