Abstract

During the last three years various insects occurring on Jasmine were studied for their importance and type of damage and their characteristic features reported in an earlier paper. (David 1958). Further observations showed that there were several other insects which were capable of infesting the crop occasionally and causing rather insignificant injury. Since these insects might flare up into prominence during certain epidemics and the record of these would Rerve to throw light on the host range of the insects concerned, au account of the insects is given in this paper. It may be mentioned here that excepting the leaf-miner and the horn worm, other insects are being noted on this crop for the first time.
