PROCEEDINGS OF THE THIRD ENTOMOLOGICAL MEETING 



(^gle marmdos) PsoraJea coryliJoUa and Murraya Koenigi. The eggs 

 and larvee may be hand-picked and in small areas catching the butter- 

 flies in hand-nets has been found practicable. 



The larva of Papilio rfe»jo?ews prefers Feronia elephantum to species of 

 Citrvs. 



Papilio demoleus is found to attack Malta orange rather than other 

 varieties in the North- West Frontier Province. Hand-netting of the 

 butterflies has not been found efiective at Peshawar. 



Papilio helenus, Linn. 

 Bmgham, F. I., II. 41-43, f. 8 ; Proc. Second Entl. Meeting, p. 210. 

 The lace daksha, Hmpsn., which is confined to the Hill Districts of 

 Southern India, is sometimes a serious pest of orange trees in South 

 Coorg (fide Hannyngton). The typical form helenus is also a minor pest 

 of orange at Shillong. 



Davidson and Aitken give Xanthoxylon rhetsa as a f oodplant. 



Papilio memnon, Linn. 

 Bingham, F. I., II, 47-49, f. 9 ; Proc. Second Entl. Meeting, p. 210. 

 Butterflies were observed to be ovipositing on cultivated pomelo 

 trees at Myitkyina, Upper Burma, in September 1914. Probably a very 

 minor pest of Citrus. 



Papilio polymnestor, Cram. 

 Bingham, F. I., II, 50-51, 1. 12, f. 85 ; Proc. Second Entl. Meeting, p. 210. 



The larva is sometimes a serious pest of orange in South Coorg (Ude 

 Haimyngton). 



Davidson and Aitken give Atalantia sp. and Garcinia xanthochrymus 

 as wild foodplants, but it may be noted that Moore quotes Citrus decu- 

 mana as the food of the Sinhalese form parinda, Mo. 



At Quilon Travancore, Papilio polymnestor occurs on orange and 

 Murraya hoenigi. 



We have found Papilio polymnestor and P. helenus on wild Citrus 

 trees on the Western Ghats. 



Papilio agamemnon. 

 In Ceylon Papilio agamemnon occurs on Anona muricata. 

 The larva is figured by Kershaw (Butt. Hongkong, p. 114 t. 4a ff. 10) 

 .0 says that in Hongkong it feeds on Uvaria microcarpa and Unona.
