The Diamond-back moth, Plutella maculipennis Curt., is a cosmopolitan pest of cabbage, cauliflower, radish, mustard and other cruciferous plants; according to Fletcher (1920) it is distributed throughout India, Burma and Ceylon. During a recent visit to Kashmir the authors found this pest doing considerable damage to cabbage in vegetable gardens on the outskirts of Srinagar, and this appears to be the first record of this pest from the area. From a small collection of the caterpillars made, the authors have reared out the tachinid fly, Voria ruralis Fall., and the ichneumonid, Horogenes sp. A single specimen of Itoplectis sp. was also reared out, but this is likely to be a secondary parasite. Thompson (1946) has listed only Angitia fenestralis Hlgr. as parasitizing this species in India. Mani (1940) refers to Brachymeria excarinata Gahan and B. plutellophaga Girault as having been reared from pupae of the pest at Coimbatore. A careful search in India may reveal the presence of more parasites of this universal and important pest and their introduction into other countries might be helpful in its control.
