Terminalia tomentosa, JBedd. (Combretacew). 



Terminalia paniculata, Roth (0 'ombre taceue) . 



Psidium Guyava, Linn. (Myrtacete), 



Clerodendron infortunatum, Gaertn. (Verbenaceve). 



Argyreia speciosa, Sweet {Convolpulaceie). 



Loranthus longiflorus, Desrouss. ( Loranthaceas) . 



Mr. Bell notes that the larva of this butterfly is found on many 

 other plants than those given above frequented by the ferocious red, or 

 yellow, tree ant, CEcophylla smaragdiua, Fabricius. The larvae are so 

 persistently carnivorous that each one has to be bred by itself. 



118. Camena argentea, Aurivillius. 



Oamena (1865) is perhaps too near to Camasna (1850), the latter 

 name having priority, in which case the former name must give way to 

 Pratapa. This butterfly appears in the second Kanara paper, p. 384;, as 

 Oamena cippus, Fabricius, but Dr. Chr. Aurivillius in Ent. Tids., vol. xviii, 

 p. 146, n. 48 (1897), has shown that the true " Hesperia" cippus of Fabri- 

 cius is the same as " Hesperia" [Tajuria) longinus, Fabricius, and that 

 the latter name must sink as a synonym to the former, which is the older. 

 Dr. Aurivillius has renamed the Camena cippus of authors, but not of 

 Fabricius, Pratapa argentea. It has never been bred.
