With the spread of knowledge regarding the value of fruits in our dietics, there is nowadays a greater demand for fruits and con- sequently a tendency on the part of land-owners for an extension of fruit culture all over India. Among the various problems which the fruit grower has to pay particular attention to, the role played by insects of different kinds on fruit trees is of very great importance. The writer, has attempted in this paper to give some information on the entomological aspect of fruit growing in S. India. It does not, pretend to be in any way a complete or final account of the fruit insects of the province. It is only an annotated conspectus of all the important fruit insects so far noted in S. India with very brief notes on their bionomics and economic importance with some very general suggestions towards their control.
