Abstract

Eucalyptus spp. (Myrtaceae) is planted in North Sumatera, Indonesia for pulpwood production. This plant is prone to be attacked by insects that are pests in annual crops. The objective of this study was to identify white grub species (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae) on Eucalyptus trees in private company PT. Toba Pulp Lestari (TPL) in Aek Nauli Sector, Simalungun District, North Sumatera, Indonesia. White grubs on Eucalyptus spp. were collected from field and brought to Entomology Laboratory in Porsea. Grubs were reared successfully in the soil mixed of soil with cocopeat. White grub was identified as Exopholis hypoleuca (Wiedmann) based on the analysis of the external morphology of its larvae and adult’s wing venation.
