ABSTRACT Calotropis procera (Apocynaceae) is a good host plant of several insect pest species. In this report, Calotropis procera is presented as a new host plant for a polyphagous lepidopteran pest, Olepa ricini Fabricius, 1775 for the first time from Indian region with 9±0.5 days adult longevity. Apart from this, complete list of other insects feeding on C. procera Aiton is also enlisted here.
