Abstract:
                                      To investigate the pests of 
Dracontomelon duperreanum Pierre and their damages in Zhongshan, providing basic data on prevention and control of those pests. Manual investigations on 
Dracontomelon duperreanum growing areas in Zhongshan, using sweep net, averruncator 
et al.; raising the larvae and nymphs collected during investigations in lab. Eleven species of pests on 
Dracontomelon duperreanum are found in Zhongshan, which are 
Neoplocaederus obesus(Gahan, 1890), 
Corticeus sp., 
Xyloborinus sp., 
Coccotrypes sp., 
Phenolia picta(MacLeay, 1825)and

Ricania guttata(Walker, 1851), 
Thabena litaoensis(Yang, 1994)and 
Erthesina fullo(Thunberg, 
1783)of Hemiptera; morphological diagnostic characters, damage positions and situations and habitats of those species are provided based on the information from field observations, specimens and literatures. In total, there are 11 species of pests on 
Dracontomelon duperreanum in Zhongshan belonging to 3 orders and 9 families, within which 
Neoplocaederus obesus of Coleoptera is the most important pest and could result in death of trees after persistent damages. Study on prevention and control of 
Neoplocaederus obesus is rare for now, further study is required to avoid larger losses.
