Mgeria ommaticBformis, Mo. 



Trochilium ommaticBJorme M.oove, I.M.N. II. 10, figs. (1891) ; 

 Hmpsn., Moths. Ind. I. 189 , fig. (1893). 

 This species has been recorded as doijig extensive damage by boring 

 willow trees in Baluchistan. 



Melittia eurytion, Westw. 

 Hmpsn., F.I. I. 203, f. 131. 

 Bred at Pusa in small numbers from stems of snake-gourd (Tri- 

 chosanthes anguina) in which the larva bores and forms an elongate 

 gall. Also bred from stems of Cephalandra indica. 

 Scarcely a pest. 



Glyphipterygid^. 



Hilarografha caminodes, Meyf. 



S. I. I. p. 464 ; Proc. Second Entl. Meeting, p. 37. 



Occvtrs in Ceylon as a pest of cardamoms, the larva boring in the ' 



bulbs. Likely to occur in Southern India also, although not hitherto 



noted. 



Phycodes minor, Mo. 

 Moore, P. Z. S. 1881. 378 ; Proc. Second Entl. Meeting, p. 251. 

 Apparently widely distributed in the Plains of India and Burma. 

 We have examples from Lahore, Pusa, Gauhati, Nowgong, and Minbu 

 (L. Bxirma). The larva rolls and spins up leaves of various species of 

 Ficus. It occurs as a rule on wild species but may attack cultivated 

 varieties, especially in the Pimjab, in which case it is decidedly a pest. 



Phycodes radiata, Ochs. 

 S. 1. 1, p. 463, f. 339 ; Proc. Second Entl. Meeting, p. 251. 

 Occurs probably throughout India. Our examples are from Pesha- 

 war, Kulu, Gurdaspur, Pusa, Gauhati, Nagpur and Hagari. Has been 

 reared at Pusa on wild figs {Ficus religiosa, F. glomerata, etc.), at 

 Gauhati on Ficus indica and at Hagari on Ficus tisela. It also occurs 

 on cultivated fig {F. carica), the larva rolhng the leaf, and is sometimes 

 a serious pest of young fig-trees.
