Carposinid^. 



Meridarchis scyrodes, Meyr. 



Meyr. Exot. Micr. II, 30 (1916) ; Entl. Note 74; Proc. Second 

 Entl. Meeting, p. 254. 



The larva has been found at Pusa, Surat, Nagpur and Coimbatore Mr. Fletcher, 

 boring the fruits of her {Zizyjjhvs jujuba). 

 Status doubtful ; probably scarcely a pest. 



Meridarchis reprobata, Meyr. 



Reared at Nagpur and Surat in fruits of Eugenia jamholana. It has 

 also been sent in to us from Kashmir as boring and damaging cultivated 

 olive fruits. 



/ 



Phaloniad.e. 



Clysia ambigueUa, Hb. 



This insect is well-known in Europe as an injurious pest of the grape- 

 vine, the larva feeding in the flower-buds. It occurs in the Hills of 

 Assam and Burma, but has not been recorded as a pest in India, although 

 it will probably prove to be so as cultivation extends in these Hill tracts, 



TORTRICID-^. 



Capua invalidana, Wlk. 



Wlk., Cat. XXVIII, 327 (1863) ; Proc. Second Entl. Meeting, p. 300. 



Bred at Nagpur in December 1915 from larvae on leaves of Piper 

 betle {J. L. Khare). 



May be a local minor pest. Also occurs in Ceylon. 



Homoyia coffearia, Nietn. 



S. I. I., pp. 452-453, f. 330 ; Proc. Second Entl. Meeting, pp. 20-28. 



Said to occur in the Tea Districts of Southern India,* but the only 

 specimens I have actually seen were collected by myself at Polhb«4tta, 

 in South Coorg, amongst coffee, and reared on Laniana by Y. Ra- 

 chandra Rao at Kallar and Sidapur. It is, of course, a well-known pest 

 of tea in Ceylon. Also said to occur in the Assam Tea-districts, but I 

 have seen no specimens from Assam.
