TROCEEDINGS OF THE THIRD ENTOMOLOGICAL MEETING 147 



Argyroploce paragramma, Meyr. ( /j >^ X /X h^ ^^ 



Report of Impl. Entom. 1917-18, p. 102, t. 17 ff. 1 a-d (1918). 



Tlie larvse are common at Piisa in July and August boring into 

 new shoots of bamboo, completely hidden under the protection of the 

 leaf- sheaths. They seem to damage the young shoots to some extent. 



I took a moth at Gauhati in May 1918, so that this species is pro- 

 bably widely distributed in the Plains. 



Laspeyresia hemidoxa, Meyr. 



Meyr.. B. J. X\^TI 145; Proc. Second Entl. Meeting, p. 300. 



A single specimen was reared on 2ik1 August 1909 from a larv^a 

 found boring in pepper-vine shoots at Taliparamba, Malabar. 

 The species is otherwise only known from the Khasi Hills. 



Laspeyresia leucostoma, Meyr. 



Meyr., B. J. XXI 876 ; Proc. Second Entl. Meeting, p. 20. 



Larvae were found at Hillgrove, Nilgiris, in May 1915, in some num- 

 bers, rolling tea leaves. Also from Munaar rolling tea leaves. 



The species is also known from Ceylon (Maskeliya), the Palnis and 

 Khasis, and occurs in Assam. , 



Laspeyresia fr {centra, Meyr. 



S. I. i. p. 451 t. 40 ; Proc. Second Entl. Meeting, p. 70. 



The Pusa C^ollection contains moths from Surat, Bassein Fort and 

 the Shevaroy Hills. Also reared at Coimbatore from larvae in cow-pea 

 pods. This species apparently accompanies L. pseudonectis as a pest 

 of Crotalaria in Western (and Southern ?) India. 



Laspeijresia pseudonectis, Meyr. 



Meyr., B. J. XVIII 146-1—7; Proc. Second Entl. Meeting, p. 69. 



Widely distributed in the Plains of India as a pest of sann-hemp 

 {Crotalaria juncea), the larva tunnelling in the stem and webbing top- 

 shoots. Originally recorded from Surat. We have examples, bred 

 from larvae in sann-hemp stems, from Pusa and Coimbatore. Also 

 moths from Peshawar.
