ABSTRACT

Jasmine belongs to the family Oleaceae and declared as a national flower of Pakistan. A number of insect pests like Hendecasis duplifascialus (Jasmine budworm), Contarinia maculipennis (Blossom midge), Elasmopalpus jasminophagus (Gallery worm), Glyphodes unionalis (Leaf roller), Tetranychus urticae (Two spotted mite) and Nausinoe geometralis (Leaf webworm) have been recorded for infesting Jasmine plantation from various parts of the world. Furthermore Nausinoe geometralis (Guenee, 1854) is considered as a major pest of this important plant. In present study we recorded this pest along with its distribution for the first time from Pakistan. Brief description supported with microphotographs is provided here. Larval incidence was also observed during the year 2018-19.
