The occurrence of Jewel beetle Belionota prasina
(Thunberg, 1789) (Coleoptera: Buprestidae) infestation
on cashew from Goa, India was reported in this
communication. Most of the infested trees were previously
attacked by stem borers. Semi-circular D-shaped exit bore
holes measuring 7–10 mm in length and 4–7 mm in width
were found along the main trunk and branches. Adult
beetles were dark greenish blue in colour and measured
about 21–28 mm in length. Grubs were fleshy, whitish
yellow in colour and measured 9–50 mm in length. Various
stages of grub were observed on the infested trees. Prepupa
and pupa were yellowish white in colour and measures
26–32 mm and 20–23 mm in length, respectively.
Maximum of 132 grubs, 8 pre-pupae, 22 pupae and 61
adults were collected from a single affected tree. An
average of 55.8 grubs were found to be feeding on a single
tree and could successfully complete the life cycle on a
fresh cashew log. Thus, cashew could be a new host plant
for grubs of this buprestid, Belionota prasina.
