Abstract


The Lymantriids commonly called tussock moths, are well known pests of some cultivated crops and forest trees. Among the oilseed crops, castor (Ricinus communis L.) is a well known host and the damage due to defoliation is often considerable. Observations made in 1962 at the Agricultural College and Research Institute, Coimbatore on the biology of Notolophus posticus W. are reported in this paper.
