The 28‐spotted potato ladybeetle, Henosepilachna vigintioctopunctata (Fabricius) (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae), is a major agricultural pest that primarily causes serious damage to solanaceous plants. The destructive potential of H. vigintioctopunctata is high at the larval stages. The cover photo shows that H. vigintioctopunctata third instar larva eating on the surface of eggplant leaf; it can be easily killed after ingestion of ds HvvATPase A or ds HvvATPase E (see pages xxx‐xxx).
