144 PHOCEEDINGS OF THE THIRD ENTOMOLOGICAL MEETING 



It is a bad pest of tea in Ceylon, so much so tliat one of our entomolo- 

 gists, Mr. Jardine, has been working especially on this insect and has 

 recently issued a Bulletin on it. 



No Bulletin on Homona coffearia has been received at Pusa as yet. 



Have j'ou noticed any efiect on three years' pruning ? 



None. There seem to be three species concerned in the attack. 



Homona coffearia occurs occasionally in Assam and almost invariably 

 on the new flush which comes up after the plants have been cut back.
