Fletcher (1920: 98) reported that “Major F. C. Fraser informs me that this species is common in every vineyard in Sind, the larva feeding on the leaves of grape-vine, of which it is a decided pest. It has, however, never been reported as a pest.” Elsewhere, however, the only verified larval host of T. pallicosta is Aporosa (Phyllanthaceae) . Consequently, we consider Fletcher’s record to be erroneous. However, T. pallicosta is known from the Western Ghats and Uttaranchal in India , and so its presence in Pakistan is possible.
