Pupae of Lepidoptera, chiefly Lycaenidae. 483 
Hypokopelates nigra Beth.-Bak. Plate XITI, fig. 19. 
Pupa. The pupa is attached along its ventral surface 
to the underside of a leaf and resembles somewhat that of 
Pilodeudorix diyllus (fig. 8), and is darkly marbled on a 
slightly paler ground-colour. The cuticle is smooth, but 
bears numerous very minute hairs. A portion of the larval 
skin remains attached to the leaf, and from this I have made 
a preparation which shows the larval cuticle to be covered 
with chitinanths of the forms shown at fig. 19. Length 
of pupa 10 mm. From the example figured the male type 
emerged 16.5.12. Lamborn, Oni. 
Lachnoenema bibulus F. Plate XIII, fig. 21. 
Pupa. The cuticle of the abdominal segments is thrown 
into a multiplicity of folds, giving it a very rough appear- 
ance, and the peculiar structure of the terminal segments 
is shown in the figure. At the head are two processes, 
and the thoracic portion is wavy and irregular. The 
example shown produced a male, which emerged 1.12.13. 
Length of pupa 10 mm. Lamborn, Moor Plantation. 
Lycaenesthes liodes Hew. Plate XIII, fig. 20. 
This small pupa calls for little remark. Its general 
appearance is shown by the figure, and the cuticle is smooth 
and bears a sparse but regular covering of very minute hairs. 
The example shown produced a male which emerged 
10.12.13. Length 10 mm. Lamborn, Moor Plantation. 
Zeltus sp. ? lebona Hew. Plate XIII, fig. 16. 
A small perfectly smooth pupa, pale in colour with 
sightly darker markings. Length 6 mm. Emerged 
27.1.12. Lamborn; Oni. 
Megalopalpus zymna Hew. Plate XIII, fig. 13. 
This curious pupa is remarkable for its elongated form 
and absence of irregular projections. It is ornamented 
all over with dark markings which give it a delicately 
marbled appearance, and on the abdominal segments 
are smooth rounded processes. It is attached by the ter- 
minal segment, its long axis making a slight angle with 
that of the twig. Length 75 mm. Emerged 25.2.12. 
Lamborn, Oni.
