Jamun, Syzygium cumini L. (Myrtaceae) is a common evergreen perennial fruit tree of tropical and subtropical regions. Being native to India and Myanmar, it is found throughout Southeast Asia and the Pacific regions1,2. The tree bears annually, sweetish and sour, dark-purple berries that are much sought after for their antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-microbial and free-radical-scavenging properties3. The existing literature provides an exhaustive list of various insect pests (~78 species) that could infest S. cumini in India4. However, none of these studies reported seed borer, Anselmella kerrichi (Narayanan et al., 1958) (Hymenoptera: Eulophidae) as an insect pest of jamun.References
