Reduviids are one of the important predatory groups encountered in cashew plantations, which predate
on several insect pests including Helopeltis spp. Sycanus galbanus Dist. (Hemiptera: Reduviidae) was
observed to be frequently predating on H. antonii. S. galbanus was collected from cashew plantations and
reared under laboratory conditions on the larvae of greater wax moth, Galleria mellonella L. S. galbanus
laid 80-110 eggs in clusters. The incubation period was 17.00±0.28 days. The stadial durations of I, II,
III, IV and V nymphs were 9.24±0.18, 7.72±0.22, 8.32± 0.17, 10.40±0.21 and 16.04±0.19 days,
respectively. Adult males and females survived for 74.00±1.29 and 81.10±1.06 days, respectively and the
sex ratio was 1: 0.93. Many desirable biological and behavioral traits noticed in S. galbanus imply that
this species can be mass reared under laboratory conditions and included in integrated pest management
in cashew.
