New insect pest and host plant records.

Abstract

Nearly all insect pests, recorded and published from the Territory of Papua and New Guinea up to about the middle of the year 1954 were listed in a technical paper of the South Pacific Commission, compiled by L. J. Dumbleton (3). Some more insects of cultivated plants were mentioned in papers written by J. H. Ardley, J. H. Barrett, J. W. Barrie, E. B. Britton, G. S. Dun, J. L. Gressitt, Sir Guy A. K. Marshall, N. C. E. Miller, J. J. H. Szent-Ivany and J. S. Womersley in the years 1954-58 (See Bibliography: Nos. 1-2, 4-14).
