Mr. Fletcher. This species occurs in Ceylon (low country), throughout Madras 



and Orissa to Palamau and Chota Nagpur. We have it from Colombo ; 



Palamau ; Shoranur (Malabar), on paddy ; and Palur (S. Arcot) on 



groundnut and tenai. 



It is probably quite a minor pest, often found intermixed with other 

 species of Myllocerus.

M. discolor has been reared at Pusa from larvae found at roots of 



sugarcane and maize. It is a widely-distributed species, which we 



have from the following localities and foodplants : — Simla ; Patiala ; 



Pusa, adults on Eribotrtja japonica (loquat), lucerne, guava, sugarcane, 



wheat, ber {Zizyphns jujuba), young mango leaves, jute, rice, bael, and 



cotton ; Kanti (Bengal), on cotton ; Jamalpur (Bengal), on grass and 



her ; Comilla ; Cuttack ; E. Bengal and Assam ; Bangalore ; Coimbatore, 



adults on wheat and Hibiscus cannabinus, larva at roots of tenai {Setaria 



italica) ; and Palur, on groundnut. 



It is a common species, often occurring in sufficient numbers to 

 constitute it at least a minor pest. 

 Mr. Misra. It is found on every crop but is not serious to any as a rule. In one 



year, however, it was a pest.
