190 PROCEEDINGS OF THE ‘SECOND ENTOMOLOGICAL MEETING 
Marasmia trapezalis [‘‘ South Indian Insects,” pp. 432-433, tab. 
33] occurs commonly on maize, the larva rolling the leaves. It is a 
minor pest as a rule. 
Marasmia trapezalis occurs throughout the United Provinces, but 
does not do much damage. On the Experimental Farms it is hand- 
picked. 
Anomala antiqua has been reported on maize at Tatkon, in Burma, 
but I do not know how far this is a pest. 
In one year it was found in large numbers at Tatkon. 
Heterorrhina micans has been reported on maize at Taliparamba, 
in Malabar, but is not a pest. 
Monolepta signata occurs on maize, aS on so many other crops, but. 
is scarcely a pest. 
Tanymecus circumdatus | Fauna of India, Curculionide, Vol. I, pp. 
90-91, fig. 24a] occurs throughout Burma and India, except Madras 
and Bombay, and has been found on maize at Cuttack and Lahore. 
It is scarcely a pest. 
Tanymecus indicus |l.c., pp. 99-100, fig. 32] has been noted on maize 
at Pusa but is doubtless common throughout Northern India. It may 
at times do damage by nibbling young seedlings or tender leaves, but 
we do not usually regard it as a pest. 
Tanymecus hispidus [l.c., p. 98] has been noticed in the Pusa District 
attacking maize, and doing a little damage sporadically, but it is not 
a pest as a rule. 
Myllocerus 11-pustulatus {l.c., pp. 350-352] has been recorded on 
maize at Surat and Pusa and is doubtless to be found commonly on 
maize throughout India, but it is scarcely a pest. 
Myllocerus blandus {l.c., pp. 833-334, fig. 101] is known from Burma, 
Madras and Bengal, and has been found on maize at Pusa, but this also. 
is scarcely a pest. 
Oxya velox is found in numbers on maize throughout India and does 
some damage by eating the leaves and especially the young plants. 
In the Punjab, when the maize crop is young, it is attacked by ground- 
grasshoppers, chiefly Oxya and Epacromia. 
When the crop is young, bagging is practicable. 
Hieroglyphus banian sometimes attacks maize in some districts in 
which this grasshopper occurs. We have already dealt with it under 
sugarcane and paddy. 
In Madras Hieroglyphus banian is found on maize. 
In Khandesh also maize is attacked by H. banian.
