Extract

Arthur & Chaudhuri (1965) have reviewed the literature dealing with the taxonomic status of Nosomma monstrosum (Nuttall & Warburton, 1908). They have also redescribed the adults and have given the host and geographical distribution of this species. There have, however, been no descriptions or records of immature stages of this species. They are described and illustrated here from laboratory-reared and field-collected material. The parent females of the laboratory-reared material were compared with the female specimen in the Indian Museum collection, reg. no. 2172/17, on which the description of the female was based (Warburton, 1918).
