52 PROCEEDINGS OF THE SECOND ENTOMOLOGICAL MEETING 
Riptortus pedestris. 
Nezara viridula. 
Anoplocnemis phasvana, 
Aphids. 
None of these are specific pests or of regular occurrence as pests of. 
Phaseolus so that they only require mention here. 
Aphids occur on shoots of mung in Madras. 
Aphids occur on this crop in Mandalay also. 
In Jalgaon we get Aphids and Nezara. 
Some insects attack the seeds of mung and urid :— 
Pachytychius mungonis. 
Maruca testulalis. 
Agromyza sp. 
Catochrysops cnejus. 
Pachytychius mungons. This is the species described and figured 
in “South Indian Insects’ [p. 336, fig. 194] under the name of the 
“Green Gram Weevil.” It is apparently only known in Madras up to 
the present. Is there anything new to add about it in Madras ? 
It has been observed attacking pods of green gram in Coimbatore, 
Bellary, and Kurnul. 
Maruca testulalis and Catochrysops cnejus we have already discussed 
under Cajanus indicus. Both occur regularly on mung and urid and 
do some damage. 
Tn a small plot of mung in the Pusa Insectary Compound, all the pods. 
were destroyed by Catochrysops. 
Agromyza sp. This is figured and described in “‘ South Indian 
Insects ” [p. 358, fig. 217]. It destroys young mung plants in Madras.,. 
but does not seem to have been noticed elsewhere. 
Boring in the stem of mung and urid :— 
Alcides collaris. 
Oberea sp. 
Alsides collaris [“ South Indian Insects ” p. 337, fig. 195] was found 
on green gram at Hadagalli and occurs in this crop as a minor pest in 
Madras. 
Oberea sp. Will you tell us something about this, Mr. Ghosh ? 
This longicorn borer occurs regularly on mung and urid. A portion 
of the stem is ringed at two places, at a distance of about an inch or 
so from one another, and the egg is thrust into this ringed portion. The 
whole stem above the lower ring withers and is easily noticeable. The 
larva bores in the stem and pupates there. Some of the larve have 
been observed to rest for the whole year.
