“…Observations revealed the same symptoms as in the field on mango trees. The adult specimens were examined carefully and confirmed as Helopeltis antonii Signoret (Hemiptera: Miridae) using established keys (Srikumar et al, 2015;Stonedahl, 1991).…”

“…The legs are blackish brown, there are white spots at the base of the femur, and the tip of the femur is black. The H. bradyi has a pale white band on the femur and the following parts are light brown or dark brown [9,10]. The average incidence of tea mosquito bugs reached 40% in the two tea clones observed.…”

Tea plants are grown in monoculture on a large scale, so that can be a caused pest in the high population. This study aims to determine the diversity and dynamics of pest populations in Sambawa tea plantations in West Java. Tea pests are found in the crop and on the leaves picked at the plant. The dynamics of the pest population were noted by observing the area of attack, the intensity of the attack, and population density. Twenty-one pests on tea plants were identified based on their morphological characteristics and symptoms. Among them, seven species attack bud and young leaf, two species attack old leaf, twelve species attack young and old leaves, and one pest attacks tree trunk. Twelve pests were carried to the factory’s withering tub of leaves. Tea green leafhopper (Empoasca sp.), tea leaf roller (Caloptilia theivora), tea mosquito bug (Helopeltis bradyi), and tea tortrix (Adoxophyes sp. and Homona coffearia) were the main pests at the observation site. The population of tea green leafhoppers decreased after the second application of pesticides, post-picking, and heavy rains. The tea leaf roller was not found after the first and second pesticide applications. The population of tea leaf rollers began to increase during picking until the last observation. The highest population of tea mosquito bugs was found after the second pesticide application. The population of tea tortrix decreased after the second pesticide application.

“…Among, 41 recognized species of Helopeltis, 26 are confined to Africa and 15 were distributed in the Australasian region (Rebijith et al, 2012b;Stonedahl, 1991;Sundararaju and Sundarababu, 1999). The species which inflict major economic losses to the crops growing in the Oriental and Australian regions are Helopeltis antonii Signoret, H. bradyi Waterhouse, H. bakeri Poppius, H. cinchonae Mann, H. clavifer Walker, H. pernicialis (Stonedahl et al, 1995) and H. theivora Waterhouse (Srikumar et al, 2015;Stonedahl, 1991;Stonedahl et al, 1995). The species H. antonii is only confined to South and East India, Sri Lanka, Indonesia and the Andaman Islands (Saroj and Swamy, 2017); whereas, H. bradyi is restricted to South India, Sri Lanka, Indonesia and Malaysia (Saroj and Swamy, 2017;Sundararaju, 1996) and H. theivora predominantly in South East Asia, Sri Lanka and India (Saroj and Swamy, 2017), especially South and North-Eastern parts which attained significant importance (Debnath and Rudrapal, 2011).…”

The tea mosquito bug (Hemiptera: Miridae) is the recognized pest of fruits and plantations across the world. In India, three species viz. Helopeltis antonii, H. bradyi and H. theivora are dominant among different species and found attacking a wide range of crops. Several alternate host plants of the tea mosquito bug have been recorded, especially in Africa and Asia. The nymphs and adults of the tea mosquito bug suck the sap from leaves, buds and shoots, which results in heavy crop losses. The pest is posing a serious challenge in domestic and overseas trades. For better management decisions, it is very much important to know about pest status, bionomics, distribution, host range, etc. The focus on the management of tea mosquito bug has to emphasize from chemical to traditional, indigenous technical knowledge and integrated pest management using the accessible resources to reduce the resistance development and limit the residual effects. This review highlights the significant works conducted on tea mosquito bug with detailed management strategies. The information on current status, host preference, incidence and early detection of this pest are discussed.
