Abstract: This paper reports the cross breeding test of lac insects in China. The results have shown that these different species of lac insects (Kerria lacca, K. sindica, K. chinensis, K. fici) can be alternatively crossed without barrier. The crossing test has also shown that the crossing between K. sindica and K. lacca is amphimictic.
