Abstract
All lepidopteran larvae feeding on various parts of star fruit plants in Peninsular Malaysia were collected reared and studied. Forty-seven species from 17 families were recorded; with 16 species as flower feeders 11 species attacking fruit 23 species as leaf feeders as well as one stem borer and one bark borer. Among 47 lepidopteran pests only two serious pests of star fruit namely Crytophlebia sp. (a fruit borer) and Diacrotricha fasciola Zeller (a flower bud borer cum flower feeder). Through rearing 36 species of parasitoids were recovered from the larvae and pupae: 29 species of hymenopteran and seven species of dipteran. All dipterans belong to the family Tachinidae. There were seven families of hymenopteran. In a star fruit farm where insecticides were not used parasitism on the larvae of pterophorid flower moths lymantriid and the limacodid leaf feeders was respectively 35 51 and 60 percents
