Kirby, F. I. Acrid ; pp. 161-167 ; S. Ind. Ins., pp. 528-529, 



t. 49; Proc. Second Entl. Meeting, pp. 49, 66, 79, 86, 90, 



95, 98, 160, 181, 186, 191, 193, 269, 274. 



Species of Chrotogonus (whether of one or more or of which species 



I cannot say) occur throughout the Plains of India, and are often serious 



pests of young crops (tobacco, juar, wheat, etc.). They are best dealt 



with by bagnets.
