 Aul, scctbioscE; Fb. ; Kby., F. I Acrid., p. 170. 

 Recorded from Nepal, Sikkim, Orissa, Bombay, Coonoor, Ceylon. 

 We have it from the Shevaroys, Nilgiris, Vizagapatam and Coimbatore. 

 It is found on coffee, coconut and Erythrina, but does little damage as 

 a rule. According to Green, the form scabiosce has been found at Veyan- 

 goda (Ceylon) defohating Erythrina, areca-nut, coconut and various^ 

 shade trees. We have specimens of punctatus from Burdwan, on jute ; 

 and Lashio (Upper Burma). 



Kirby splits this up into three species, miliaris, punctatus and 

 scabioscB, but it seems impossible to separate them satisfactorily.
