, Sogata pallescens, Dist. 



Dist., A. M. N. H. (8) IX, 192 (1912) ; F. I. Rhyn., VI, 140 ; 

 Proc. Second Entl. Meeting, p. 177. 



This species has been recorded from Galle ; Chapra ; Madhupur 

 District ; Calcutta ; Pusa, on rice ; and Janjgri (Bilaspur district), on 

 rice. 



It occurs, together with the two preceding species, as a minor pest 



of rice. 



[Note. — Since this paper was read, Mr. F. Muir has stated (Canad. Entom. LT, p. 8 

 January 1919) that the type of 8. pallescethf, Dist., is really Megamelus fiircijera, Horv.— 

 Editor]. 



Liburnia sp. 



Dist., F. I. Rhyn., Ill, 480-481 ; Proc. Second Entl. Meeting, p. 177. 



This species has been found at Pusa, Burdwan, Hooghly, BomcM 

 (Hooglily), Ahpur, Kandi (Murshidabad), Nadiad ; in all cases on rice- 

 plants. It is reported to be an occasional serious pest of paddy in 

 Bengal, but very little is known about it. Specimens have been sent 

 to Mr. Distant, but the identification has not yet been received. 



Liburnia fsijUoides, Leth. 



Dist., F. I. Rhyn., Ill, 484-485. 



This insect has been reported as a pest but it is probably in mistake 

 for Pundaluoya simplicia. We have no specimens of L. fsylloides. 



Membracid.^. 

 Oxyrhachis tarandus, Fabr. 



Dist., F. I. Rhyn., IV, 4-5, f. 1 ; Proc. Second Entl. Meeting, p. 275. 



We have this from Sitamarhi (MuzafEarpur), on tur [Cajanus indicus) ; 

 Pusa, on tur, Cassia fistula, and Acacia arabica ; Bombay, on Acacia 

 rich a. 



It is common in the Plains and is a minor pest of Acacia arabica, 

 occurring sometimes in some numbers on Cajatms indicus also.
