their width. 
The existence of a honey-gland is highly probable, since 
a local disease or injury that obscures the region and 
prevents a definite statement being made, is a “frequent 
result of captivity in larvae whose honey- ‘lands are de- 
prived of the proper stimuli to exercising their normal 
activities. In this larva the gland seems to have been 
the centre of some disorder, causing the brown coloration 
of the larva, and, just outside it, is what looks like a pre- 
mortem wound. The brown chitinous-looking wrinkles 
about it are probably merely pathological. Ordinary 
lenticles are not in excess about it, but there are close to 
it many very small, nearly colourless lenticles, about half 
the width of the others. There is no fan on 8th abdominal 
segment, but at its probable position is a chitinous are, 
lost in the diseased condition on one side, but looking like 
a normal structure on the other. 
The interior structures present various larval organs, 
especially tracheae and fat-masses, but no trace of any- 
thing that could be supposed to be a part of an ant larva 
or pupa. Indeed, the intestinal canal was barely recog- 
nisable and empty. The mandibles have eight teeth ail 
sharp and pointed, and the middle ones rather long ; 
they suggest, though not perhaps very decisively, a car- 
nivorous employment. Avion has similar sharp teeth, 
but they are also found in purely vegetarian larvae, such 
as warus. There were no traces of imaginal organs. 
The pupa of C. phasma is of a nearly uniform dark 
terra cotta colour and of the usual Lycaenid form, 13-0 
mm. long by 5 mm. broad. It is for the most part remark- 
ably free from hairs and lenticles of any sort, but round 
each spiracle (abdominal) are a dozen or two minute hairs, 
colourless and glassy, about 0-06 to 0-08 mm. long; each 
has a solid shaft for about half its length, the remainder 
divided into several, usually a good many, radiating 
spicules sometimes arising together, sometimes a little 
spread over the end of the shafts; some smaller similar 
hairs are seen on the prothorax. 
The 8th abdominal segment narrows ventrally almost 
to disappearance, the 9th gives a small triangular mid- 
ventral projection, and the 10th a rather larger rounded 
projection, about 1-3 mm. across and 0-7 mm. long. Dor- 
sally the 9th and 10th are not separately distinguishable ;
