240 PROCEEDINGS OF THE SECOND ENTOMOLOGICAL MEETING 
Popillia few and P. histeroidea have both been found on peach at 
Maymyo, in Burma, and there is a note on the latter im Entomological 
Note 24, fig. 3, in Bulletin 59. 
Anomala aurora, A. pallidospila and A. decorata have also been 
found on peach at Maymyo and the first-two are referred to in Ento- 
mological Note 14 in Bulletin 59. : 
Anomala beetles do some damage io peach 'eaves in Burma. 
Emperorrhinus defoliator is a weevil known to occur in Kulu, 
Darjilng and the Khasi Hills and occasionally defoliating whole 
orchards of peaches, apricots, pears, etc. It was only described last 
year by Dr. Marshall from specimens sent from Pusa and Dehra Dun 
(Bull. Ent. Res. VI, 365, fig.; Fauna of India, Curculionde, I, 
pp. 286-287]. 
Peach fruits are attacked by a few insects but great damage 
is often done. 
Calpe ophiderovdes. 
Dichocrocis punciiferalis. 
Chatodacus ferrugineus. 
zonalus. 
(uberculatus. 
correctus. 
ss duplicatus. 
Calpe ophideroides presents another interesting case of damage being 
done by an adult moth. This is described in Entomological Note 64, 
figs. 9, 10, in Bulletin 59 and we have little more to add. 
An inquiry was received by me from the Deputy Commissioner, 
Attock, regarding moths damaging peach fruits. At the time I was not 
aware that damage could be done in this way by adult moths but 1t now 
seems probable that the damage was really done by Noctuid Moths 
such as Calpe ophiderovdes. 
Dichocrocis punctiferalis has been bred from peach fruits on several 
occasions. The larva bores nto the fruit, generally in the groove along 
one side of the fruit, and feeds on the fleshy substance of the fruit. So 
far it has been noted as a curiosity rather than a pest but it might become 
serious and would be difficult to check. 
We now come to the important subject of Fruitflies, of which our 
present knowledge has just been summarized by Professor Bezzi in his 
recent timely paper on Indian Fruitflies in the Bulletin of Entomological 
Research. This contains practically all our records to date of the spe- 
cies concerned and of their occurrence in various localities and plants, 
so we will first go over this information briefly and then consider the 
eneral question of control of these flies. %
