 Aul, scabiosce, Fb. ; Kby., F. I Acrid., p. 170. 



Recorded from Nepal, Sikkim, Orissa, Bombay, Coonoor, Ceylon. 

 We have it from the Shevaroys, Nilgiris, Vizagapatam and Coimbatore. 

 It is found on coffee, coconut and Erythnna, but does little damage as 

 a rule. According to Green, the form scabiosce has been found at Veyan- 

 goda (Ceylon) defoliating Enjthrma, areca-nut, coconut and various 

 shade trees. We have specimens of pmictatus from Burdwan, on jute ; 

 and Lashio (Upper Burma). 



Kirby splits this up into three species, miliaris, punctatus and 

 scabiosce, but it seems impossible to separate them satisfactorily.
