FKOCEEDINGS OF THE THIRD ENTOMOLOGICAL MEETING --0 



[Chcetoclacus hageni ? 

 At Matale, in Ceylon, I have reared from larvae in Citrullus fruits Mr. Senior Whi^e. 

 a fly which I believe to be C. hageni.] 



MeUesis eunienoides, Bezzi (1916). 

 Bull. Ent. Res. VII, 119 (Oct. 1916). 

 Proc. Second Entl. Meeting, p. 307 (1917). 

 This species is so far only known from Burma, where it has been reared 

 at Tatkon from larvae in Tricliosantkes cucumerina fruits and at Jlyitkyina 

 from larvae in cucumber. 



iJyiopardalis carpalina. 

 Cleghorn, Agl. Jour. Ind. IX, 124-140, t. 13-15 (April 1914). 

 Proc. Second Entl. Meeting, p. 306. 

 This fruitfly is well-known in Baluchistan as attacking melons and a 

 long account of it was given by the late Mr. .1. Cleghorn in the Agricul- 

 tural Journal oj India. So far as we know it has never been reported 

 from the Plains of India, but in August 1915 we reared it at Pusa in some 

 numbers from larv« found in fruits of Cucumis trigonus. 



Carpomyia vesuviana. 

 Proc. Second Entl. Meeting, pp. 11, 254 (1917). 

 This species has been reared from her {Zizyphus jujuba) fniit at 

 Coimbatore, Hadagalli (Bellary District), Pusa, Poona and Baroda. 



At Poona last year it was very bad on ber. The pest was so bad that Mr. Ramrao. 

 no fruit could be had during the monsoon. 



It is parasitized extensively at Pusa by Biosteres carpoinyiw, Silv., Mr. Fletcher, 

 and Brecon fletcheri, Silv. If these do not occur at Poona you might 

 perhaps try introducing them there. 



Stictaspis ceratitina, Bezzi. 

 Proc. Second Entl. Meeting, p. 204 (1917). 

 This species is common at Pusa, the larva boring into bamboo shoots 

 during the rains. It seems probable that it does a great deal more 

 damage to young shoots than is generally realized. 



Stictaspis striata, Frogg. 

 Proc. Second Entl. Meeting, p. 204 (1917). 

 This species has similarly been bred at Peradeniya from larvae 

 attacking shoots of giant bamboo (Dendrocalanius strictus) but has not 

 been found in India so far as I know.
