102 PROCEEDINGS OF THE SECOND ENTOMOLOGICAL MEETING 
Pelania (Remigia) undata has been noted at Nagpur on cotton as a 
very minor pest. It occurs more commonly on leguminous plants and 
is not likely to be much of a pest on cotton. 
Euproctis fraterna occurs throughout India, Burma and Ceylon, and 
we have records of it as reared on cotton in Madras and at Lyallpur 
and Poona. It is a polyphagous species, not likely to be a regular pest 
of cotton but liable to occur occasionally. 
Lathocolletis triarcha is a small Gracilariad moth whose larva mines. 
cotton leaves. It has only been noticed at Pusa so far as I know and 
can hardly be looked on as a pest. 
Bucculatriz loxoptila is a small Lyonetiad moth which was reared at 
Attur, Madras Presidency, in June 1907 from larvee found eating small 
holes in leaves of Caravonica cotton. It has not been, noted in India 
sce then or from any other locality, but I call your attention to it 
because it is possible that it may prove to be a pest. This species was. 
only described comparatively recently by Mr. Meyrick [Exotic Micro- 
lepidoptera, t.,209| but it was described from examples sent from Zanzibar,. 
where the larva was found damaging cotton. Whether it was intro- 
duced into Zanzibar from India or vice versd, or whether it is a widely 
distributed species, we do not know, but certainly in Zanzibar it has. 
proved a pest and we have it occurring in India, so it may turn up here 
also as a pest. I might add that in a recent number of the Journal 
of Economic Entomology you will find an account of an allied species, 
Buceulatriz thurberiella, which has recently been noted as a pest of 
cotton in California. So that if you find a small caterpillar eating holes. 
in the leaves of cotton in India we should like to know more about it. 
Atactogaster finitimus we have just dealt with under the head of 
seedlings, but it sometimes injures the leaves of more mature plants as 
well. ; 
Of the species of Myllocerus on our list, M. transmarinus [Fauna 
of India, Curculiondae, Vol. I, p. 337, fig. 102] seems to be attached 
especially to Zizyphus and Dalbergia but has also been found on cotton 
at Pusa, doubtless as a mere vasual visitor ; 47. discolor | Fauna of India, 
Curculionidae, Vol. I, p. 348, fig. 106] is widely distributed in India and . 
has a wide range ot foodplants and has also been found at Pusa on cotton, 
but is not a pest so far as we know; M. sabulosus [Fauna of India, 
Curculionidae, Vol. 1, p. 336] occurs throughout Madras, Bengal and the 
United Provinces on Zizyphus and Casuarina and has also been noted 
at Pusa as a casual visitor on cotton. 
Muyllocerus 11-pustulatus, under which name is included the variety 
maculosus, Desbr., is common throughout India on a large variety of 
foodplants and is often abundant on cotton, of which it is a regular
