Salai defoliator Rhesala imparata Walker is a new pest record on Boswellia serrata. The moth appeared in January and oviposited in clusters. Incubation period was 3-5 days, larval period ranged 15-28 days, pupal period 5-10 days in August and 11-22 days in October-November. Life cycle was completed in 23-55 days. A nuclear polyhedrosis virus was recorded from the larva of R. imparata at Barnawapara. A parasite wasp was also recorded from larvae of R. imparata.- External Morphology, Bionomics and Natural Enemy Compux of Pagyda salvalis Walker (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) the Inflorescence Feeder and Fruit Borer of Teak

Pagyda salvalis Walker is an important pest of teak causing severe damage to teak inflorescence and fruits. Heavy attack results in poor fruit setting. External morpbology of moth, pupa, larva and egg are described. Only threr generations were observed from June to October The larva fed on inflorescence and fruits of teak. Besides it was recorded feeding on leaves of Callicarpa lanata, Nothing is known about the pest when teak is not in inflorescence and fruit. Studies need be carried out to fill this lacuna in the bionomics of the pest.- Arrival of Leucaena Psyllio in North India

Podontia 14-punctata the balticine beetle is a serious defoliator of Spondias pinnata, an important fodder tree. In June/July the beetles appear and the trees are stripped of their leaves resulting in the loss of much needed fodder. Eggs were laid in clusters of 20-60. Incubation period was 7-8 days, larval period 11-18 days, pupa] period 14-29 days. Life cycle varied from 32-55 days. A nematode pal asite Mermis sp and a fungal patbogen Cephalosporium sp. have been recorded parasiting the larvae and the beetle. Foliar spray of 0.25% malathion in June/July gave effective control of the pest. As an alternative to insecticides, spores of the pathogen can be sprayed with water as carrier for controlling the pest.- New Records of Predators of the Meliaceae Shoot Borer Hypsipyla robusta Moore (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae)

The Meliaceae shoot borer Hypsipyla robusta Moore an important pest of trees belonging to family Meliaceae. A survey for the predators of H. robusta in Doon Valley revealed five predators including one reduvid, one formicid, two carabids, one mantid, common myna and five striped squirrel were recorded for the first time. A brief account of the predators and their potentialities are given in this paper.- New Record of Beauveria tenella (Delacroix) Siemaszko on Teak Skeletonizer Eutectona machaeralis Walker (Lepidoptera : Pyralidae)

An entomogenous fungus Beauveria tenella (Delacroix) Siemaszko was isolated from dead larvae and pupae of Eutectona machaeralis Walker collected from teak forests of Melghat, Maharashtra State. Laboratory experiments gave 80% kill of the larvae, when sprayed with spores culture of the fungus in water. This fungus is a promising pathogen for the microbial control of the teak skeletonizer.- A Note on Leptobyrsa Decora Drake (Hemiptera: Tingitidae) - a Bio-control Agent of Lantana Camara (verbenaceae)

The paper outlines the procedure adopted during transportation of Leptobyrss decora Drake (Hemiptera: Tingitidae) from Bombay to Dehra Dun by train along with its life-history studies under Dehra Dun conditions. The bug oviposits 83 eggs on the mid-rib or main vein of mature leaves of Lantana. Incubation period ranges from 12-14 days. Nymphal period recorded was 22 days. Life cycle is completed in 38 days. Adult live 12-14 weeks.- Some Observations on the Life History and Behaviour of Digger Wasp Ammophila frythrocephala Fabricius (Sphecidae : Hymenoptera)

The dagger wasps are stinging predators. Life-history, field observation and territorial behaviour of Ammophila erythoephala were studied in Tira plantalions, Siwalik Forest Division. The egg is white, semitransparent. Incubation period is 3 days. Carval period is 5-6 days, pupal Period is 18 days. Stinging, dragging, storing and nest building habits of the digger wasp were observed. Sphecid serve mankind by killing countless number of lepidopteraus, larvae aod thus helps to keep the pest in check during epidemies.- Control of Semul Shoot Borer Tonica niviferana (Lepidoptera: Oecophoridae) in Plantations

Semul shoot borer is a serious pest of semul plantations. An effort was made to control the pest by using two granular insecticides viz furadan and sevidol. Post treatment evaluation after 48 hours showed that sevidol at 6g/plant (81.25% kill) was found more effective than furadan 6g/plant (52.98% kill) and 8g/plant (59.70% kill).- Bioassay of Thuricide, a Microbial Insecticide, against Important forest Pests
