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.

Three exotic whitefly pest species, Aleurodicus rugioperculatus Martin, Aleurothrixus floccosus (Maskell) and A. trachoides (Back) have been recorded for the first time from the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, India. Severe infestation of A. floccosus on guava; A. rugioperculatus on coconut and Cinnamomum and A. trachoides on tomato, guava and glory bower was observed. Tomato and glory bower are new host plant records for A. trachoides, and Cinnamomum for A. trachoides. Puparial diagnosis and photographs of habitus are provided to facilitate identification of these species.

The Indo-Australian genus Caltoris has over 15 species distributed from India through south China and SE Asia into New Guinea and Solomon Islands. Based on wing colouration, characters of male genitalia, and early larval stages on the host plant Phragmites karka, a new subspecies of Caltoris bromus (Leech, 1894), Caltoris bromus sadasiva ssp. nov., is described from the coastal lakes and mangrove associated swamps of Kerala, southern India on the western slopes of the Western Ghats. This is the first record of C. bromus from Western Ghats and Peninsular India. This extends the distribution range of the species from NE India to south-western India, adding it to the butterfly fauna of the Western Ghats.

Banana pseudostem borer (BPB) Odoiporus longicollis (Olivier) (Coleoptera, Curculionidae) is a serious pest of Musa cultivars. Experimental maintenance of larvae in the live pseudostem of cultivar Thodan, a resistant AAB Musa cultivar has resulted antixenosis followed by death of larvae within a week. Antixenosis was characterized by significant decrease of total hemocytes and sharp changes on the proportionate distribution of different types of hemocytes in larvae. As the number of plasmatocytes, prohemocytes, splenocytes and adipohemocytes decreased the number of granulocytes and oenocytes increased. Antixenosis also caused accumulation of 20-hydroxyecdysone (20E) and significant inhibition on the activities of trypsin like serine protease (TlSP) and phenoloxidase (PO). Phytochemical analysis of Thodan resulted characterization of three larvicides such as Betulinic acid (BA), Stigmasterol-3-O-glucoside (SOG) and Sulfoquinovosyl diacyl glycerol (SQDG), and the content in the pseudostem ranged 0.0027 to 0.007 per cent. All the three larvicides were highly toxic to the larvae with LD50 of 0.38 ppm for SOG, 0.41 ppm for SQDG and 0.83 ppm for BA. Simultaneous action of three larvicides in the live pseudostem resulted resistance in Thodan against infestation by BPB. Susceptible Nendran showed negligibly low content of SOG (0.0011%) and SQDG (0.0013%) but no detectable quantity of BA. Intoxication by all the three larvicides caused significant changes on the proportionate distribution of hemocytes, accumulation of 20-hydroxy ecdysone (20E) and inhibition of TlSP and PO, the enzymes involved in larval metamorphosis and cuticle sclerotisation. This study demonstrated that resistance of Thodan against O. longicollis is due to adverse effect of these larvicides on endocrine system, cuticle development and cytotoxicity of hemocytes. As these larvicide molecules are stable compounds, there is scope for them to be used as substitutes in place of deleterious insecticides for the management BPB.

Cucurbit longicorn Apomecyna saltator Fab (Coleoptera, Cerambycidae) is an economically important pest of cucurbitaceous vegetables. Salad cucumber, Cucumis sativus L. grown in a polyhouses in Thrissur, Kerala, India was found infested by A. saltator. This is the first report of C. sativus as a new host plant for A. saltator in India. The grub is an internal feeder and causes damage by tunnelling the vines. A brief note on the nature of damage and symptoms are given.

Developmental biology and life table characteristics of Tetranychus fijiensis Hirst (Acari: Tetranychidae) on papaya were studied at four distinct constant temperatures (20, 24, 28, and 32°C) and relative humidity (70-85%) conditions. With the increase in rearing temperature conditions, the length of T. fijiensis life cycle decreased from 34.46 to 8.58 days. At 20, 24, 28, and 32°C, the Net Reproduction Rate (R0) was 23.48, 39.06, 33.75, and 23.48 and; the intrinsic rate of population increase (rm) was 0.0694, 0.2003, 0.2281, and 0.1902 females/ female/day, respectively. The optimum temperature for mite development was observed to be between 24 and 28°C, while favourable temperature for optimal reproduction capacity of the mite was 28°C.
