Abstract

Hyalopeplus similis Poppius is herein reported attacking young mango fruits, the first report on the commercial variety, Amrapali. Feeding of the bug on the immature fruit surface led to damage that resulted in the development of scarring and pitted marks which enlarged as the fruit developed. As it is a direct pest on fruit this bug needs to be carefully monitored to prevent fruit loss and avoid quarantine issues. The bug was not recorded on older fruits closer to harvest.
