PROCEEDINGS OF THE SECOND ENTOMOLOGICAL MEETING 219 
Argyroploce aprobola is widely distributed throughout the Plains and 
is a very minor pest of mango, on which it has been reared at Poona, 
Bassein Fort and Pusa, the larva rolling the leaves. It has also been 
reared from flowers of rose and on leaves of Cassva tora, litchi and. Polyal- 
thia longifolia. 
Argyroploce erotias seems to be widely distributed in India and Ceylon. 
The larva has been found at Pusa rolling tender mango leaves and feeding 
on them and it was also reared in Bombay from a larva boring mango 
shoots. Also reared at Pusa from a larva rolling Loranthus leaves 
(probably on mango) and from a larva webbing Cynoglossum leaves. 
Various species of Acrocercops mine mango leaves and some of these 
are mentioned in Entomological Note 84, Bulletin 59. None are serious 
pests. 
Chelaria spathota [Entomological Note 82, Bulletin 59] also occurs 
on mango but is not a pest. 
Anomala dussumieri is recorded on mango in Travancore but I do not 
know how far it is a pest, if at all. 
~ Amblyrrhinus poricollis, an KEremnine weevil, has been found at 
Pusa eating tender mango leaves, as also leaves of bael (Aigle marmelos), 
Albizzia lebbek and Dalbergia Sissoo. We also have it from Cuttack (on 
Zizyphus), from Pithapuram, in the Godavari District (on Terminalia 
leaves), and from Hagari (on agathi), but it does not seem to be a pest. 
Myliocerus sabulosus, M. discolor and M. 11-pustulatus have been 
found eating tender mango leaves at Pusa, and are probably widely 
distributed as very minor pests. 
Apoderus tranquebaricus |“ South Indian Insects,” pp. 335-336, 
fig. 193] occurs sporadically on mango in Southern India but is not a 
pest. The leaf attacked is cut and rolled up by the larva, which feeds 
on it. 
Hugnamptus marginalis [l.c., pp. 329-331, figs. 186, 187] occurs 
throughout India and Burma. The Pusa collection contains examples 
from Dehra Dun, Pusa, Nagpur, Poona, and Maymyo, and in Madras 
it has been noted in Godavari and Malabar. ‘The life-history is de- 
scribed in “‘ South Indian Insects’ and has also been worked out at 
Pusa. Young leaves are usually attacked and considerable damage 
may be done at times. Control is difficult owing to the small size of 
the insect. The collection and destruction of freshly-cut leaves con- 
taining eggs and young grubs should be done as far as possible and 
attempts might also be made to catch the adult beetles in hand-nets. 
At Pusa the grubs hibernate and some of them aestivate also in Mr, Ghosh. 
the ground. The life-cycle seems to be very irregular but there are 
probably about three generations during the Rains in North Bihar.
