ABSTRACT
Plusiodonta auripicta Guenee and Plusiodonta coelonota (Kollar) are economically important species
belonging to genus Plusiodonta Guenee. Adults of these species feed on fruits by puncturing the skin of
fruits with their stout proboscis and feed on their juices. Authentic identification of these moths play very
important role in biological control of these economically important species. Keeping in view, external
genitalic attributes of these two species have been studied in detail and incorporated to their diagnostic
characters.
Key words: Noctuidae, Plusiodonta auripicta, Plusiodonta coelonota, Economically important, Genitalic
attributes.
