1. Batocera alhofasciata, de Geer. The larvae of this very 

 ■common Cerambycid beetle hâve a strongly developped préférence 

 for the Ficus-trees, to which they often do damage to a considérable 

 degree. It is remarkable that this species is far more exclusive 

 than the allied Batocera hector, Dej. the larvae of which hâve 

 been found in the dadap [Erythrina spec), the nutmegtree, the 

 Kapok [Eriodendron anfractuosum) and many others. 



2. Epepeotes luscus, Fabr. Noxious in the same way as 

 the foregoing species but much less common. This beetle has 

 also been reared from larvae in the Gastilloa elastica.
