4.2 PROCEEDINGS OF THE SECOND ENTOMOLOGICAL MEETING 
Eucosma critica, hitherto called Eucelis critica in Indian entomologi- 
cal literature, occurs fairly commonly in most parts of India, the larva 
bunching up the shoots and leaves. 
It occurs all over Madras as a minor pest. 
It occurs in Bombay as a minor pest. 
It is a minor pest of tur in Bihar. 
In the Central Provinces it is a minor pest. 
In Bengal it is a minor pest. 
In Assam it occurs as a minor pest. 
It is not a pest in the United Provinces. 
I have never noted it in the Punjab. 
As a pest it is found on young plants only. 
Then it occurs as a minor pest all over India south of the United 
Provinces. The obvious control measure is the picking off of the twisted 
tops in the case of young plants. 
Astycus lateralis. We have this recorded from Nagpur, and it also 
occurs at Pusa, but is not very common and scarcely a pest. 
Myllocerus 11-pustulatus (maculosus). This is the commonest of 
these leaf-eating weevils at Pusa but does relatively little damage and 
we can scarcely call it a pest. 
It occurs in the United Provinces but not as a pest. 
Gracilaria soyella and Cyphosticha coerulea. Both these little Leaf- 
miners occur commonly at Coimbatore and at Pusa and doubtless they 
are widely distributed throughout India. They are scarcely pests. 
Monolepta signata occurs on tur as on many other crops, but is un- 
important. 
In Burma it occurs as a minor pest. : 
Stauropus alternus. The larve are found occasionally on tur but 
usually only in small numbers and may be looked on as curiosities rather 
than as pests. We must remember, however, the serious outbreak 
of this species on tea in Ceylon, so that it must be looked on as a potential 
pest of tur also. 
It was once found at Dacca on tur leaves. 
Lpisomus lacerta. We have a record of this on Cajanus at Samalkota. 
Young plants were found damaged at Samalkota. 
It is scarcely a pest as a rule. 
Megachile anthracina and M. disjuncta. These two bees occur 
commonly at Pusa and cut away portions of the leaves for their nests. 
They are scarcely pests,
