S ummary .1 Four different types of disease of the mango tree are shown to be caused by the capsid bug, Helopeltis bergrothi Reut. 2 Symptoms of a stem canker, an angular leaf spot, a fruit scab and a fruit rot of mangoes are described. 3 A description of the morbid anatomy of these diseases is given. 4 References to control measures advocated against H. bergrothi are cited. 5 A discussion of the results shows the possibility of the importance of further co‐operative work between entomologists and mycologists in the study of plant diseases.
