 This species was found in the Bellary District, at Yemmiganur, Mr. Fletcher, 

 -attacking stems of Bengal gram, I have no further information about 

 It. 



Sipnpiezomias j rater , Mshll. 



F. I. Cure. I. 164 ; Proc. Second Entl. Meeting, p. 29. 



Recorded by Marshall from the Nilgiris, Balur, Yereaud, and Coorg. 

 At Yereaud, in April-May 1913, it occurred on coffee in some numbers, 

 but is probably only a very minor pest ; it was also taken by C. W. 

 Mason on coffee in the Shevaroys, in August 1907. We also have speci- 

 mens from Sidapur (May 1914) and Pollibetta (September 1903). 



Sympiezomias cretaceus, Fst. 



Mshll., F. I. Cure. I. 167 ; Proc. Second Entl. Meeting, pp. 29, 255. 



This species has been found on mulberry at Bangalore on 26th August 

 1913, and on coffee at Hillgrove (Nilgiris) on 3rd September 1908. We 

 also have it from Bailur Forests, Coimbatore District, on 23rd Novem- 

 ber 1913, and from the Nilgiris. It is doubtful how far it is a pest. 



Sf/mpiezomias decipiens, Mshll. 



F. I. Cure. I. 167 ; Proc. Second Ent. Meeting, p. 37. ^ 



This species was reported in May 1913 as injuring young Java Ledger 

 Cinchona in the Kukal Orange Valley, Nilgiris, by eating the leaves. 

 The leaves sent were seriously injured. It is recorded by Marshall as 

 occurring in the Nilgiris (1,000-6,000 feet) and in Pirmaad, Travancore. 



Episomus lacerta, Fb. 



Mshll., F. I. Cure, I. 223-225, f. 66^- ; S. I. I. pp. 327-328, f. 

 184 ; Proc. Second Entl. Meeting, pp. 42, 56, 77, 121, 187. 



This is a South Indian species, which we have from Surat, Cuttack, 

 Samalkota, Bellary, South Arcot, Coimbatore, Pollibetta and Mercara. 

 At Surat it was found on bajra, at Samalkota on tur, and in Bellary, 

 S. Arcot and Coimbatore on pulses. At Coimbatore it has been found 

 eating field bean leaves in numbers. Throughout Coorg it is common 

 on Erytlirina, eating the leaves. 



It is recorded by Lefroy {hid. Ins. Life, p. 384) as eating cotton 

 ,bark, but this is perhaps an error of determination.
