Description Over twenty species of insect pests have been recorded on black pepper (Piper nigrum L.) in India (Pillai 1978). During 1984-'86 caterpillars of Synegia sp. (Lepidoptera: Geometridae) were observed to damage spikes and foliage of black pepper vines at Peruvannamuzhi (Calicut district, Kerala). Preliminary observations on its biology and nature and extent of damage are reported here. The present report is the first record of the pest on black pepper.
