Key Points

The cow bug (Anchon pilosum) poses a significant threat to leguminous crops, highlighting its status as a plant pest.
Notably, the insect family Membracidae, to which the cow bug belongs, has not previously been recognized as economically harmful in India.
Previous literature, including works by Lefroy and Fletcher, did not classify any Membracidae as major plant pests in the region.
This emerging recognition of the cow bug underscores the need for further research on its agricultural impact.

Implication

This analysis reveals the cow bug is a notable pest for leguminous crops in Malabar, suggesting economic impacts.
