abstract
The white grub species Holotrichia consanguinea Blanchard, is cosmopolitan in distribution and a major pest of several economic crops. Present study has been carried out to find the morphological variability among three populations of H. consanguinea, which were collected from different states viz. Andhra Pradesh, Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh. A dendrogram was constructed based on the similarity index of 17 characters of three populations of H. consanguinea using UPGMA. The dendrogram revealed that all three populations are morphologically similar for all the selected characters.
