At Maymyo, in Burma, a yellow beetle was found in large numbers 
on one occasion only attacking green fruits. 
Chatodacus ferrugineus in its various forms (ferrugineus, dorsalis, 
meisus, and versicolor) is probably the commonest Fruitfly of the mango 
in India and Burma and also breeds in guava, loquat, peach, pomelo, 
Solanum, Capsicum, jak-fruit and various other fruits. The Fruit- 
flies of this group have just been revised, and all the available informa- 
tion on the species occurring in India, Burma and Ceylon has been 
given by Professor Bezzi in the latest number of the Bulletin of Ento- 
mological Research |Vol. VII, pp. 99-121; October 1916], so we need 
not go into this group very closely now, and as regards control we will 
come to that under peach. 
Chetodacus zonatus is the species hitherto called persice and mangi- 
fer@ in India. It is usually a peach pest but has been bred from mango 
fruits also. It is widely distributed in India. 
Chetodacus correctus was reared from mango fruit at Coimbatore 
and is also known from Pusa (in peach), Hagari and Guindy. The 
specimens collected by me at Guindy were attracted to an opened termi- 
tarium but there were mango trees quite close and they probably came 
from them. The smell of the earth in a newly opened termitarium 
attracts numerous flies but Ido not remember to have seen Fruitflies 
attracted before. There has of course been a good deal of literature 
on the attraction of Fruitflies by the smell of citronella, kerosine oil 
and other oils; but it is only the males that are attracted and such 
methods are useless for control. 
Fruitflies are very bad in mango fruits in Madras. 
On one occasion at Coimbatore, whilst trying remedial measures 
against Batocera and other pests, roots of mango trees had to be ex- 
posed and were cut in some cases. The cut roots were found to attract 
a very large number of Fruitflies belonging to a species which usually 
attacks the fruits. 
A species of Nephopteryx was found boring green mango fruits at 
Bombay in February 1911, but we have only had it once and do not 
know any more about it as a pest. 
The next group of pests of mango includes those insects found boring 
into the stem, branches and bark of the tree.
