Abstract

A study of the life-cycle of Biosteres persulcatus Silvestri a larval parasitoid of (Bactrocera (B) sp. near Bactrocera dorsalis A) was conducted in the laboratory (26.5C 1.5C). There are 4 larval stages as indicated by the sizes of the mouthhooks. The first larval moult occurred in the newly-formed puparium of the host. The entire developmental period from egg to adult emergence for male and female was 16.3 0.80 days and 17.1 0.80 days respectively. The average reproductive capacity during the life span was 67 3.5 eggs.
