The available literature reveals that not much attention has been paid to the study of the bionomics of coccinellid beetles including the genus Stethorus. However, Kapur (1942, 1948) and Puttarudriah and Channabasavanna (1953, 1955) have listed a large number of such insects from India and have also given brief accounts on their life-history. Contributions made by Collyer (1953a, b) and Putman (1955) on the life history, behaviour and ecology of Stethorus punctillum Weise are worthy of mention. The present paper, however, deals with the bionomics of Stethorus gilvifrons Mulsant.
