Abstract– This study was carried out to assess the localization of protein in the gut of larval instars of Callosobruchus chinensis Linn. propagating in Moong. Histochemical analysis of the gut lining of the larval instars in Callosobruchus chinensis showed glycogen. However, the protein content was not the same in foregut, midgut and hindgut of larval instars.

Key words: Protein, Gut Lining, Larval instars, C.chinensis.
