Ferrisia (Ferrisiana) virgata Ckll is a widespread pest of many ornamental plants, fruit crops and some field crops as recorded by Hosny (1943) and Mohammad Ali (1961). Some aspects of its bionomics were studied by Betrem (1936) in Java; Das et. al. (1948) in India; Voelcker (1948) in Gold Coast and Highland (1956) in Maryland. Its persistent occurrence in Madhya Pradesh during recent years and insufficiently known bionomics led to the studies on its host plants, bionomics and control, the preliminary results of which are reported here.
