SOME INSECT PESTS, ATTACKING PALA- 
QUIUM GUTTA VAR: OBLONGIFOLIA, 
AND AFZELIA PALEMBANICA 
IN MALAYA. 
Ever since the Gutta Percha (Palaquium gutta var: oblongifolia) 
and “ Merbau” (Afzelia palembanica) trees were first planted by 
the Forest Department in the Federated Malay States several 
species of Lepidopterous larvae ( Rhd'Joneura myrtoea var : fenestrata 
belonging to the Family Thyrididx, a Tortricid and a Tineid ) 
were noticed to feed freely on their leaves. 
As the area planted in these trees increased, the damage wrought 
to them by these insects became a matter of considerable import- 
ance. 
During the months of March and April of this year their numbers 
have assumed such a proportion that a large amount of damage is 
being caused to both the young and old trees. Indeed it is now 
difficult to find a tree that has not suffered, at some time of the 
present year to a greater or less extent. The rapid increase in 
individuals of these insects has led to the investigation of the cause 
of the disease in order to ascertain such remedies as might be 
applicable to the area under cultivation.
