PROCEEDINGS OF THE SECOND ENTOMOLOGICAL MEETING Sl 
Monolepta signata has been found on indigo at Pusa. It occurs on 
numerous plants and is not a pest of indigo. 
Blosyrus inequalis was found on indigo in some numbers at Nellikup- 
pam, but we do not know any more about it as a pest. 
Sitones crinitus has been found on indigo at Dalsing Serai and in 
Champaran, but is not known as a pest. 
Tanymecus circumdatus and T. indicus both occur on indigo at Pusa 
but in quite small numbers. 
Myllocerus viridanus we have from Nellikuppam on indigo but we do 
not know it as a pest. ; 
Indigo seems to be rather free from stem-borers. We have a record 
ot Aleides bubo as found on indigo at Palur, in South Arcot, but whether 
it was breeding in indigo we do not know. Anataractis plumigera 
(Cosmopterygide) was reared from a gall in a stem of Indigofera linifolia 
at Pusa [see Entomological Note No. 83], but we have not noticed it in 
any cultivated indigo. 
The sucking insects found on indigo, however, are of more importance, 
and in this group we get 
Psylla isitis (Psyllopa punctipennis). : 
Aphis cardua (2). : 
Dolycoris indicus. 
Anoplocnemis phasiana. 
Thrips. 
Mites. 
Psylla isitis has acquired a literature of its own and you will find 
accounts in our Entomological Memoirs, Vol. IV, No. 6 and in the 
“ Acricultural Journal of India” for January 1913. TI do not think 
there is much to add to these so far as we are concerned. 
I can only add one remark. If by varying the method of cultivation Mr. Ghosh. 
it be possible to have only grown-up “ moorhun ” plants in J uly-Aueust, 
there will be hardly any Psylla, as this is the time of year most favourable 
in Bihar for the growth and multiplication of Psylla. 
Psylla occurs on indigo in the Punjab at Multan, Muzaffarnagar Mr. M. M. Lal. 
and Dhera Ghazi Khan, but never gives much trouble. 
In Madras indigo is attacked by Psylla at Palur and Bellary. Mr. Ramakrishna 
Ayyar. 
In the United Provinces Psylla attacks indigo. Mr. David. 
An Aphid, which is probably Aphis cardui, occurs commonly on Mr. Fletcher. 
indigo and is a sporadic pest of young plants. We constantly cet reports 
from the Indigo Planters round about Pusa and have sent out men 
and apparatus to control it several times. It is fairly easily controlled
