Cirphis unipuncta is common on maize, sporadically serious. We 
have already considered this species under paddy. In the case of maize 
the caterpillars are often found in the tube formed by the leaf-sheaths 
and may be dealt with by dropping kerosinized dust or ashes into this 
tube. 
Cirphis loreyi has been noted on maize at Pusa and Surat and is doubt- 
less common throughout India. Control as in C. unipunceta. 
Prodenia litura has been recorded on maize at Daltonganj but is 
doubtless found on maize occasionally in most districts. It is scarcely 
a pest of maize. 
Laphygma exigua is found especially on youngl eaves and shoots 
and sometimes occurs in numbers. The damage done is much like 
that caused by Cirphis. 
Amsacta moorei is a pest of maize in those districts in which this 
imsect does damage to crops generally. 
In Bombay Amsacta moorei is sporadically bad on maize in the Pan- Mr. Jhaveri. 
chmahal District. 
Estigmene lactinea is sometimes found on maize in small numbers mr, Fletcher. 
but is a minor pest as a rule. 
In the Central Provinces E. lactinea is a minor pest of maize but Mr. Ratiram. ' 
is not bad.
