Seven insects were recorded by Ramakrishna Ayyar (1927, 1940) as affecting the jasmine plant in the Madras State. The distribution, however, given for two of these fall outside the present limits of the State. There has been no further work to ovaluate the injury to the crop by insects or mites. Observations made during the last one year showed that there are several insects and mites which are capable of causing severe injury to the crop. Two of the insects, as far as known, are being recorded on this plant for the first time. In this paper the biological characteristics and the economic status of the insects and mites which occur on the crop are given.
