Abstract

Hosts, pest status, natural controls (pathogens and predators) and records of H. armigera and H. assulta are given; and H. rubrescens and also the Armyworm Pseudaletia separata are recorded. Classification of the group, keys to the adults and larvae of local species, and control with insecticides are included. This paper deals more particularly with the Highland areas.
