Description The tea mosquito bug Helopeltis antonii Signoret (Heteroptera: Miridae) is the most serious pest of cashew Anacardium occidentale L. in India. The adults and nymphs of the pest feed on the sap of tender shoots, panicles and immature fruits resulting in their drying up. Though the biology of the pest is known, details of its mating and oviposition behaviour are not well documented except for the brief reports of Ambika and Abraham (1979) and Jeevaratnam and Rajapakse (1981). The mating and oviposition behaviour of H. Antonii, observed mainly under laboratory conditions, is reported in detail in this communication.
