Mshll., F. I. Cuic. I. 347-348; Proc. Second Entl. Meeting, 



_ pp. 92, 168, 201. 



This species occurs in Ceylon (low country), throughout Madras 



and Orissa to Palamau and Chota Nagpur. We have it from Colombo ; 



Palamau ; Shoranur (Malabar), on paddy ; and Palur (S. Arcot) on 



groundnut and tenui. 



It is probably quite a minor pest, often found intermixed with other 

 species of Myllocerus.

M. discolor has been reared at Pusa from larvae found at roots of 

 sugarcane and maize. It is a widely-distributed species, which we 

 have from the following localities and foodplants : — Simla ; Patiala ; 

 Pusa, adults on Eribotrya japonica (loquat), lucerne, guava, sugarcane, 

 wheat, ber {Zizyphus jtijuba), young mango leaves, jute, rice, bael, and 

 cotton ; Kanti (Bengal), on cotton ; Jamalpur (Bengal), on grass and 

 ber ; Comilla ; Cuttack ; E. Bengal and Assam ; Bangalore ; Coimbatore, 

 adults on wheat and Hibiscus cannabinvs, larva at roots of tenai (Setaria 

 italica) ; and Palur, on groundnut. 



It is a common species, often occurring in sufficient numbers to 

 constitute it at least a minor pest. 



It is found on every crop but is not serious to any as a rule. In one 

 year, however, it was a pest.
