Maruca testulalis Geyer —Mr. Swezey exhibited a specimen 
of this Pyralid moth reared from a larva found in pod of garden 
peas December 9, 1922. Two of the larvae were found in a 
mess of green pea pods obtained from the Metropolitan Meat 
Market. Two larvae of Lycaena boetica were found in the 
same batch of pods. Both kinds of larvae were feeding on the 
green peas. One moth issued December 23, and one butterfly 
December 28. This Pyralid moth has not previously been noted 
here, though it has undoubtedly been present for some time. It 
is a moth which is widespread in India where, according to 
literature on Indian insect pests, it is a minor pest of pulses,
