BUTTERFLIES OF SAMOA AND SOME NEIGHBOURING ISLAND-GROUPS. 63 



The pupa is brown, covered with a powdery white deposit, which is easily 

 rubbed off, and placed between two leaves of the food-plant, which are spun 

 together. The pupal stage lasts nine days. 



Early stages of this species were observed throughout the year, when- 

 ever the food-plant was examined ; the bushes on which they were found were 

 overrun by ants, which seemed to ignore healthy larvae and pupae completely, 

 though they readily devoured dead ones.
