Liocrohyla paraschista, Meyr. 

 Meyr., Exot. Micr. II 5 (1916). 

 Reared at Pusa in February 1916 from leaf-mining larvae on tur 

 (Cajanus indicus). Not a pest. Also reared from Desmodium gangeti- 

 ntm. 



Cijfhosticha ccendea, Meyr. 

 Meyr., Exot. Micr. I. 26 (1912) ; Proc. Second Entl. Meeting, pp. 42, 56. 

 Bred at Coimbatore from larvae mining leaves of Dolichos lablab 

 and at Pusa from leaf miners on cowpea, tming, sem, Dolichos lablab, 

 Cajanus indints and Vicia faba. 



May at times be. a minor pest of pulses. Probably widely distributed 

 in the Plains, but overlooked. 



Gracillaria zachrysa, Meyr. 



Proc. Second Entl. Meeting, p. 248 [Apple Gracilariad]. 



A decided pest of apple, the larva at first mining in young leaves 



and afterwards tying up the leaves, fastening the edges together and 



living inside, gnawing the green substance on the upper side of the leaf. 



Sometimes practically all young leaves may be destroyed in this way. 



Has been found at Parachinar, Abbottabad and Peshawar and also 

 at Shillong, so that it is probably widely distributed along the Hill 

 districts of Northern India. 



Gracillaria theivora, Wlsm. 

 I. M. N. II 49 ; Meyr., B. J. XVIII 829. 

 Common in the tea Districts of Ceylon but apparently scarcely a 

 pest. We have an example from Lebong, Darjihng District. The 

 larva mines and rolls leaves of tea. 



Have you come across this as a pest of tea ? Mr. Fletcher. 



I have never had it from tea gardens except those situated near Mr. Andrews. 

 Dehra Dun and from these it has twice been sent in to me as doing 

 damage. 



Gracilhria soyeUa, van Dev. 

 Entl. Note 88 ; Proc. Second Entl. Meeting, p. 42. 

 Has been reared commonly at Pusa and Coimbatore from larvae 

 rolhng leaves of Cajanus indicus and at Pusa also on Phaseolvs mimgo. 

 It may also be expected to occur on soy-bean in India.
