TRANSFORMATIONS OF SOME SOUTH-AFRICAN LEPIDOPTERA. 295 
Two figures of the pupa are given: one pupa is waxy white and similar to the pup# 
of other Acrew, the other ferruginous. The ferruginous pup had nearly always 
been attacked by ichneumons, with which the larve were much infested. The imago 
is a common butterfly in the coast district. 
6. ACR&A BUXTONI (Butler). (Plate XLVI. fig. 10, larva; figs. 11, 12, pupa.) 
Larva. Pale buff dorsally, deepening to pale green on the sides, with a buff lateral 
spiracular line above thoracic legs and claspers, which are also buff. Two dorsal pale 
green stripes, interrupted on every segment by a pale yellow transverse stripe bearing 
four black branched spines; below these are two buff-coloured spines springing from 
the buff spiracular line. Head yellowish. 
Feeds on a species of nettle, locally called “pink hibiscus” (although it is not a 
hibiscus at all). It is a common plant on the Berea, Durban, where I found the 
larva, and has been identified for me by Mr, Medley Wood as Triumfetta rhomboidea 
(Jacq.). 
The larva is here figured, x $, to exhibit the detail. 
Pupa waxy white, with the usual fine black lines and spots with orange centres, 
beautifully gilded ; pupz formed in the dark, however, inside a box, are slaty black. 
Imago fairly common in Durban district. 
7. PLANEMA ESEBRIA (Hewitson). 
This larva and pupa have been figured by Trimen, ‘South African Butterflies,’ i. 
pl. i. figs. 2 & 2a. I took it on a species of nettle (Urtica sp.), in the covert known 
as the “ Back Beach Bush,” near Durban. My specimens resulted in two females of 
the white variety A. The imago is a very common butterfly in the Durban district. 
Subfamily NyMPH ALIN & (Bates). 
8. JUNONIA CEBRENE (Trimen). (Plate XLVI. fig. 13, pupa.) 
‘This larva has been already figured by ‘Trimen, ‘ South African Butterflies,’ 
pl. i. fig. 4. 
1 reared the larva from an egg which I saw deposited by the female on Justicia 
natalensis, a common plant amongst the grass of the veldt. 
Pupa chocolate-brown, with four rows of small yellow spots on each segment, and a 
submarginal row of white spots round the edge of the wing-covers, with a row of four 
white spots inside them. ‘The specimens reared passed 13 days in the pupal stage
