The taxonomy of three mealybugs infesting eggplants viz., Coccidohystrix insolita (Green), Pseudococcus sp. and Ferrisia virgata (Cockerell) were studied. C. insolita and Pseudococcus sp. are new records on eggplant. The life history, host range, natural enemies, associated ants and seasonal abundance of C. insolita were investigated. Earlier reports on F. virgata were reviewed and updated. Notes on the distribution and control of both species were also included. In addition, seven eggplant accessions were screened for resistance to C. insolita.
