Study on morphological characterization of 3 species of Myllocerus genera (Curculionidae) and one species of Mylabris genera: Mylabris pustulata (Meloidae) was carried out. These insects were collected from pulses i.e. Blackgram, Greengram and Cowpea from three different locations of Udaipur district (Farmer's field of Badgaon village, Farmer's field of Vallabhnagar village and College Instructional farm). For the identification and characterization of weevils and blister beetles, external characters and dissected genitalia of both male and female were studied. The diagnostic key was used for the identification of weevils sub family Otiorhynchinae.
