The Queensland Naturalist May, 1943 
usually some shade of green, with a yellow dorsal band 
bordered by interrupted brown lines: dorsal band often 
whitish bordered by white lines. Pupa similar in shape 
to that of hyacinthina, light grey or pinkish brown with 
darker markings. Pupal duration similar to that of 
hyacinthina. 
Candalides acasta, Cox, 1873. 
We have found larvae only on Cassytha glabella, a 
very fine low-growing species. Larvae have been found 
close to the ground, resting on leaves of Lomandra and 
Pater sonia which were parasited by the Cassytha. Larvae 
green, with yellow-green dorsal band bordered by yellow 
lines. Pupa smaller than that of crinus, narrower and 
with little of the abdominal flattening usual in pupae of 
this genus, light grey-brown without markings. 
Pseudodipsas cephenes , Hewitson (additional note, 
October, 1942.) 
As indicated in our previous notes (February, 1942) 
the ant associated with this species is Iridomyrmex gilberti , 
the same as that attending the larvae of Hypochrysops 
miskini. We have' recently found larvae of cephenes and 
miskini together in the same shelters and feeding on the 
same food-plant, Smilax australis . Previously we had 
found cephenes on Maba fasciculosa only. 
Nacaduba palmyra tasmanica, Miskin. 
The larvae feed on the flower-buds of a mistletoe, 
Loranthus vitellinus. We have found them on this one 
species only, and only from April to July, during the main 
flowering period. They are smoother than most other 
larvae of this genus and are reddish-brown, the same col- 
our as the flower-buds. Pupal duration averages three 
weeks. 
Nacaduba perusia parma, Waterhouse and Lyell. 
The food-plant is Rapanea variabilis, which occurs as 
a shrub or small tree on the edge of rain-forest. Larvae 
usually eat the surface only of the leaf and are most often 
found on the underside. They are either green or reddish- 
brown and similar in shape to those of berenice. They 
pupate in leaves on the ground. Pupal duration two to 
three weeks.
