Abstract
The incidence of Coptosoma variegatum (Herrich-Schäeffer, 1838) on mango tree is reported for the first time from south Indian states, Kerala and Karnataka. The bugs colonised and fed on tender shoots of mango trees. Even though the extent of damage was low, the insect in association with other pests may affect the vigour of young trees. The species is redescribed and illustrated based on male and female genitalia.
