The larva is said to damage cabbages at Maymyo, Upper Burma, 

 but the record seems doubtful.

Calopsilia pyranthe, Linn. 



S. I. I., p. -113, f. 286 ; Entl. Mem. V, 29-32, t. 5, fl. 7-11 ; Proc. 

 Second Entl. Meeting, pp. 72, 75, 76. 

 Occurs throughout India, Assam and Burma, mostly in the Plains. 

 The larva feeds on Cassia fistula. C. tora and C. occidentalis and has been 

 found at Pusa on Sesbania [sp.] flowers. 



Scarcely a pest as a rule but may do damage to species of Sesbania 

 and Cassia when these are grown as ornamental or shade trees. 



In Assam Calopsilia pyranthe sometimes does considerable damage to 

 Cassia fistula trees, which are planted along roadsides for shade pur- 

 poses. 



We find it in Madras damaging dhaincha which is grown for green- 

 manure. 



Colics hyale, Linn. 



Bingham, F. I., II, 234-235 ; Proc. Second Entl. Meeting, p. 208. 

 Said to be an occasional minor pest of clovers (Trifolium spp.) at 

 Peshawar, but there seems to be no exact record. 



Colias vroceus, Fourcroy, race fieldi. Men. 



Bingham, F. I.. II, 243-244, t. 15, f. 103 ; Proc. Second Entl. 

 Meeting, p. 208. 

 Said to have occurred as an occasional minor pest of clovers [Trifolium 

 spp.) at Peshawar, where the butterfly is common in April. The butter- 

 fly penetrates into Bihar in the cold weather but is a scarce visitor as 

 a rule. 



Terias hecabe, Linn. 



S. I. I., p. 414, f. 287 ; Proc. Second Entl. Meeting, pp. 72,
