Abstract
Field experiments were conducted to study the biology of the mango leafhopper Idioscopus nitidulus Walk. folfowing outbreaks in north Peninsular Malaysia in 1986 and 1987. The developmental period on inflorescense was 13.7710.25 days for males and 13.500.60 days for females and mean incubation period of eggs was 18512.00 days. Hoppers reared on the inflorescence produced 277110 eggs with a hatchability rate of 90.28.4; those on shoots produced 14957 eggs and had a hatchability rate of 54.822.0. A female mating only once laid 176172 eggs whereas multiple mated females produced 149157 eggs. On shoots in the field the longevity of females (69.89.8 days) was not significantly different from that of males (60.518.5 days).
