PROCEEDINGS OF THE THIED ENTOMOLOGICAL MEETING 119 



The nomenclature of this species is doubtful. It is perhaps sacchari- 

 phagus, Bojer, described from Mauritius (whither it was imported from 

 Ceylon) ; if so, Bojer's name antedates those of Walker and Snellen 

 (assuming that these two belong to the same species, which is also doubt- 

 ful). 



Diatrcsa sp. (C. S. 1610).* 

 Annl. Rept. 1917-18, pp. 90-92, t. 6. 

 We have this from Sylhet, Dacca and Pabna. It is injurious to cane 

 at Dacca and was sent in August 1911 from Pabna (cane). 



Diatma sp. (C. S. 1674). 



Annl. Rept. 1917-18, p. 90-92, t. 7. 



Annl. Rept. 1917-18, p. 90 [? Chilo in rice (C. S. 1768).] 

 Dacca. — Injuriously prevalent in cane in July 1917.

 Pusa. — The larva boring cane. This is probably the commonest 

 species at Pusa and we have numerous examples from other localities

 an opinion.
