Remigia frugalis Fabr. 
Remigia translata Walker. 
The first record of this insect as a cane-pest in Queensland was 
published in 1916, at which time, during April, thousands of slender 
greenish brown caterpillars were observed at Gordonvale and Meringa 
stripping the leaves of both young and old stools, often to the midrib, 
over areas of considerable extent. This damage was confined principally 
to plantations where weeds had been allowed to mature between the rows, 
these having perhaps attracted the moths in the first instance.
