Abstract : During July and August, 1979, adults of Cryptocephalus suillus Suffr. and C. insubidus Suffr. were observed feeding on leaves of mango in Delhi, India. Feeding could result in complete defoliation. C. suillus had not previously been reported as a pest in India, and both were found for the first time on mango.
