Larva (fig. 14). The colour of the preserved example is 
fairly uniform and rather dark. The 1st segment is rounded 
and covers the head, the remainder, to the 9th, present 
lateral blunt processes and a double row of dorsal pro- 
jections. The last three segments are of somewhat peculiar 
shape, as shown in the drawing. The whole surface is 
covered with fine short spines. Length 14 mm. 
Pupa (fig. 8). Attached so that the ventral surface is 
in contact with the support. The cuticle is smooth and, 
except for the wing-cases, has a sparse coating of very 
minute hairs. The dried example is dark brown marbled 
all over with black. The general shape is shown by the 
figure. Length 11 mm. The example figured produced 
a male 13.3.17. Farquharson, Moor Plantation. 
c. NOTE ON THE PRESENCE OF GUENEE’S GLAND. 
With regard to the presence or absence of a honey-gland 
in the larvae of this series which I have examined, there 
is in that of Argiolaus paneperata a slightly paler mark 
on the 7th abdominal segment, and the distinct appearance 
of a slit. Lamborn (Trans. Ent. Soc. 1913, p. 475) records 
the presence of a dorsal gland in the larva of Argiolaus ulus. 
I have not found a similar structure in the larva of Tanue- 
theira timon or in that of Hpamera farquharsoni, though 
it might well be hidden by the chitimanths which abound 
on the cuticle of these species. In the case of T'eratoneura 
isabellae and Epitola honorius there are so many lines and 
markings on the cuticle that the presence of the slit would 
probably be effectively disguised. It would seem very 
probable that the long and numerous hairs on these larvae 
are hardly consistent with the presence of active honey- 
glands. In Pélodeudorix diyllus I have not found any 
outward sign of the presence of the gland. (See, however, — 
pp. 382-83, almost certainly referring to these, by far the 
commonest Plerocarpus Lycaenid larvae). 
d. On THE “ ELectric’’ SENSATION CAUSED BY 
LycaENID LARVAE. 
One of the most interesting of the late Mr. Farquharson’s 
observations is the suggestion that some of his “‘ Loranthus ” 
larvae, and especially that of Tanuetheira timon, are capable
