 noticed that it did any damage.]

 aculeata, in some numbers.

Pcecilocoris latus, Dall. 



Dist., F. I. Rhyn. I. 44, f. 19 ; Proc. Second Entl. Meeting, p. 23. 



This species occurs throughout Assam on tea. The bug pierces into 

 the heart of unripe tea seed, and thus facilitates the entrance of fungus 

 spores. 

 Mr. Andrews. ^^ regards control, we still rely on catching it by hand.
