PROCEEDINGS OF THE SECOND ENTOMOLOGICAL MEETING Qt 
Arbela  tetraonis |“ South Indian Insects,” pp. 453-454, tab. 41] 
occurs in most parts of India, but it is probable that A. quadrinotata 
is often confused with tetraonis. The life-history is described in my 
book and control was discussed under Citrus. It is not a serious pest 
of mango as a rule and fairly conspicuous and easily dealt with when . 
it occurs, so that little damage should be done in any well-kept orchard. 
Batocera rubus |l.c., p. 324, fig. 179] occurs commonly in mango in 
Southern India ; in Northern India it seems to prefer fig trees but some- 
times does damage to mango also. 
Acanthophorus serraticornis [l.c., p. 320, fig. 17 5] is said to bore in 
mango, but we seem to have little information about it. 
Belionota prasina usually bores in guava, I think, but sometimes 
occurs in mango. It has been recorded as boring in mango trees at 
Chicacole [see Stebbing, Indian Forest Coleoptera, pp. 217-218]. It is 
not known as a regular pest of mango. 
An unnamed Cerambycid is recorded as a minor pest of mango at 
Thaton, in Burma. It is perhaps Rhytidodera robusta. [Gahan, Fauna 
of India, Cerambycide, Vol. I, p. 147, fig. 59.] 
Termites, usually species of Odontotermes, sometimes attack mango 
trees, usually gnawing the bark under cover of a:sheet of mud. At 
Coimbatore I found a mixture of Crude Oil Emulsion and Tar, half 
and half, pated in bands around the tree, fairly effective to keep 
termites away. 
As regards the boring pests, a mixture of creosote and chloroform, 
or carbon bisulphide, or similar liquids, can be syringed in when the 
galleries are visible. In other cases the only remedy is to cut them 
out and tar the cut surface. 
At Coimbatore syringing with creosote and chloroform has been Mr. Ramakrishna 
found ‘successful in the case of boring insects in mango trees. Ayyar. 
In Burma carbon bisulphide was tried with great advantage against Mr. Shroff. 
borers. 
In the Punjab, at Hoshiarpur, there was trouble from borers of Mr. M. M. Lal. 
sorts and carbon bisulphide injection was found successful. 
The next and last group of insect pests of mango includes the suck- Mr. Fletcher 
ing insects. We have already taken Idiocerus spp., Antestia cruciata 
and Apsyl’a cistellata and the remaining insects are mostly Scales and 
are not very important pests on the whole.
