 boring the fruits of ber (Zizyphus jujuba). 

 Status doubtful ; probably scarcely a pest.

 Reared at Nagpur and Surat in fruits of Eugenia jambolana. It has 

 also been sent in to us from Kashmir as boring and damaging cultivated 

 ohve fruits. 



Phaloniad^. 

 Clysia ambiguella, Hb. 

 This insect is well-known in Europe as an injurious pest of the grape- 

 vane, the larva feeding in the flower-buds. It occurs in the Hills of 

 Assam and Burma, but has not been recorded as a pest in India, although 

 it will probably prove to be so as cultivation extends in these Hill tracts.

Capua invalidana, Wlk. 

 Wlk., Cat. XXVIII, 327 (1863) ; Proc. Second Entl. Meeting, p. 300. 

 Bred at Nagpur in December 1915 from larvae on leaves of Piper 

 betle (J. L. Khare).

Homona coffearia, Nietn. 



S. 1. 1., pp. 452-453, f. 330 ; Proc. Second Entl. Meeting, pp. 20-28. 



Said to occur in the Tea Districts of Southern India.* but the only 

 specimens I have actually seen were collected by myself at PoUibitta, 

 in South Coorg, amongst cofl'ee, and reared on Lantana by Y. Ra- 

 chandra Rao at Kallar and Sidapur. It is, of course, a well-known pest 

 of tea in Ceylon. Also said to occur in the Assam Tea-districts, but I 

 have seen no specimens from Assam.
