PEOCEEDINGS OF THE THIRD ENTOMOLOGICAL MEETING 275 



It is an abundant species throiigliout the Plains and a minor pest 

 of paddy, probably feeding on wild grasses also. 



Kolla mimica, Dist. 



Dist., F. I. Rhyn., IV, 225; Proc. Second Entl. Meeting, p. 177. 



This species has been recorded by Distant from Calcutta and Pusa. 

 At Pusa it was reared from eggs found laid in rice leaves in 1915 when 

 attempts were being made to rear NepJwtettix bipundatus. It is pro- 

 bably a minor pest of paddy, but has been overlooked hitherto.
