PROCEEDINGS OF THE SECOND ENTOMOLOGICAL MEETING 57 
In that case cultural methods are indicated to kill the pupz before wp. Fletcher, 
sowing the next crop. 
The other insects on the list as attacking pods and seeds have already 
been mentioned under gram and tur, and I do not think that they call 
for any further remarks now, unless anyone has anything more to say. 
A species of Bruchus occurs at Coimbatore on lablab, and attacks mr. Ramachandra 
the crop whilst it is still in the field. The eggs are laid on pods in the Rao. 
field, in masses of about ten. This Bruchus is different to that found 
on Vigna catjang. 
A few sucking insects occur on Jablab, but these again are mostly Mr. Fletcher. 
identical with those we have already discussed on other crops :— 
Coptosoma cribraria. 
Clavigralla gibbosa. 
Riptortus pedestris, etc. 
Aspongopus janus. 
Aphids. 
As regards the bugs, collection by handnets (for Coptosoma) or by 
hand, or by shaking them off the plants into vessels should suffice for 
control. Aphids require spraying but this is hardly practicable on a 
field scale ; Aphids seem to be worst on this crop In Madras, Burma and 
Gujarat. 
Ceroplastodes cajani is rather bad on the stems at Coimbatore. Mr. Ramakrishna 
Ayyar. 
The next crop is Mr. Fletcher. 
Horse Gram (Dolichos biflorus). [Kulthi-Hind.] 
On the leaves we get larve of 
Estigmene lactinea, 
Nacoleia indicata, 
but neither of these calls for particular comment. 
On the pods we find 
Etrella zinckenella. 
Bruchus chinensis. 
Of these Bruchus chinensis occurs at Pusa on stored seeds only. 
Boring in the stem of Kulthi we have :— 
Sphenoptera arachidis. 
Aleides fabricit. 
Sphenoptera arachidis seems to occur chiefly in Madras and Aleides 
jabricit was found at Hadagalli, in the Bellary District. In both cases, 
destruction of attacked plants is the only thing to do.
