Abstract

Biology of Sumatran Xystrocera globosa, a stem boring cerambycid pest of leguminous trees, was studied by laboratory breeding. The larvae were fed an artificial diet and kept either singly or in groups. Patterns of development and survivorship in immatures and survivorship and fertility in adults were described quantitatively. The larvae established better in group rearing than in isolation, but showed cannibalism in groups from the 2nd instar onwards. Semel parous nature in reproduction was noted.
