Seasonal aspects of growth and mortality in the pest species comprising theEpilachna vigintioctopunctatacomplex (Col., Coccinellidae)

Abstract: Seasonal variation is the major influence on instar growth in Epilachna cucurbitae Rich., E. 26‐punctata 26‐punctata (Boisd.) and E. 28‐punctata pardalis (Boisd.). Food preference and quality are of less importance, but have more effect on growth and mortality in the two solanivorous species than in E. cucurbitae. Natural daylength of 9.9–14.5 h is positively correlated with immature development. Its influence on mortality is greater in autumn than in spring and summer. Fluctuating temperatures with average me… Show more

“…It can be distinguished from vigintioctopunctata by different male and female genitalia and from cucurbitae or boisduvali by the elytral apex distinctly angled. Richards (1983) designed a lectotype and two paralectotypes noting one female paralectotype with 26 elytral spots and three fused groups of spots on the pronotum. From its colour and maculation it appeared that this paralectotype could be vigintioctopunctata.…”
