be controlled by spraying and by picking off the affected leaves, which 

 turn yellow and ultimately dry up and fall off the plant in any case. 



Tingis hystricelliis, Richter (1869) seems to be a prior name of this 

 species (see Dist., F. I. Rhjn. II, 141, f. 104). 



Monanihia globidifera, Wlk. 



Dist., F. I. Rhyn., II, 144, f. 107 ; S. Ind. Ins.. pp. 485-486, 

 f. 371 ; Proc. Second Entl. Meeting, pp. 97, 267. 

 We have this from Pusa, on croton, Ociinum hasilimum, mint ; and 

 Yemmigannur, on Ocimum. 



It has also been noted on mint in Travancore and on heliotrop? in 

 Madras and occurs in Ceylon also. Occasionally it occurs on safflower. 

 Generally it is a minor pest of iulsi (Ocimum sanctum), causing the leaves 

 to turn yellow. 



(Unidentified Tingidid.) 



Ann. Kept. 1917-18, p. 113. 



This species has been found at Bankura, where it did severe damage 

 to Jasminum sambac. Spraying with soap was effective. 



Probably the same species has been found at Pusa and Lyallpur in 

 lar^e numbers on Jasminum sambac damaging the leaves, especially in 

 company with Dialeurodes citri. 



CAPSIDiE. 



Megaccelum stramineum, Wlk. 

 Dist., F. I. Rhyn., II, 428 ; Proc. Second Entl. Meetmg, pp. 184, 187, 192. 

 This species is recorded by Distant from N. Bengal, Kangra Valley 

 and Pmidaluoya. At Coimbatore it is associated with Calocoris angus- 

 tatus, laying its eggs in the surviving seeds of cJioJam after Calocoris 

 has destroyed a certain proportion. 



It has been found at Pusa on" lucerne, p3as, Unseed and grass, but 

 has not been noted on juar. It is probably widely distributed in India 

 as a pest of cereals, but has been overlooked. 



ApoUodotus pra'fedus, Dist. 

 Dist., F. I., Rhyn. V, 247-248, f. 135 [II, 438]. 

 This species is recorded by Distant from Eppawela (Ceylon), and 

 has been found at Pusa on plantain leaves. It is not known to be a 

 pest.
