PROCEEDINGS OF THE SECOND ENTOMOLOGICAL MEETING 65 
But in the latter case the smell of the Naphthaline is retained even 
when the dal is cooked for the table. 
The next crop seems to have no English name. It is :-— Mr. Fletcher. 
Pisum arvense. [Desi matar—Hind. Kirao—Bihar.] 
As we noted just now under Pea, this crop is attacked by Agromyza 
when young and Bruchus affinis is also found in the seeds. Its pests 
are practically the same as those of Pea and call for no special comment. 
The next crop is 
Sworp Bean (Canavalia ensiformis). 
[Bara Sim—Hind. Makkhan Sim—Hind. | 
On the leaves we get :— 
Diacrisia obliqua. 
Myllocerus dorsalis. 
Of these Myllocerus dorsalis is a weevil which we have recorded on 
this crop at Kumbakonam, in Madras. It is not a:regular pest, so far 
as we know. 
Diacrisia obliqua larvee attack Sword-bean in much the same way 
as they attack all low-growing crops. 
Diacrisia larve are sometimes bad on the leaves in Burma. Mr. Shroff. 
Attacking the pods of Sword-bean we get :— Mr. Fletcher. 
Maruca testulalis. 
Catochrysops cnejus. 
and probably most of the other pod-borers we have noticed on other 
leguminous crops. 
Maruca testulalis has been recorded from Assam but is not generally 
very com1aon on Sword-bean. 
Catochrysops cnejus occurs, probably in most districts, but does not 
do much damage as a rule. 
It occurs in Burma, but not as a pest. Mr. Shroff. 
The next crop is Mr, Fletcher. 
Sann Heme (Crotalaria juncea) 
which is becoming an increasingly important crop in India in many 
districts where it is being grown for green manure. Asit is a leguminous 
crop it is more convenient to take it here. We have a long list of pests, 
many of which do great damage.
