I have collected it [J/, pisi] horn. Bengal. Behar, United Provinces, and the Punjab. 
Though not actually collected by myself. I believe it is present in other parts of 
India as well. What looked like a bad attack on a fe\r plants was observed once 
on that beautiful flower known as '"Glory flower"' or ''Pan'ot's beak" {Clianthus 
dampieri). The hosts of this species, so far known to me besides the above are: 
Alhagi maurorum, MelUotus alba. Mtdicago sativa, M. falcata, Lathyrm odoratus (rather 
bad once in Behar), Ptganum harmaJa, and Dolichos lablab.
