Notes: Owing the recent invasion of D. opuntiae of prickly pear plantations and the emergence of P. solenopsis as potential pest of Solanaceous crops in the mediterranean region, the present study aims to investigate the life history and population growth parameters of C. montrouzieri under laboratory conditions on these two scales. The goal is to gain insights for possible use in specific biological control programmes.
