Abstract

A study of the life-cycle of Biosteres persulcatus Silvestri a larval parasitoid of (Bactocera (B) sp. near Bactrocera dorsalis A) was conducted in the laboratory (26.5 degree Celcius plus minus 1.5 degree Celcius). There are 4 larval stages as indicated by the size of the mouthhooks. The first larval moult occured in the newly-formed puparium of the host. The entire developmental period from egg to adult emergence for male and female was 16.3 plus minus 0.80 days and 17.7 plus minus 0.80 days respectively. The average reproductive capacity during the life span was 67 plus minus 3.5 eggs.
