Islam, K.S., & Jahan, M. 1993a Oviposition and development of the mealybug parasitoid Anagyrus pseudococci (Girault) at different constant temperatures.. Pakistan Journal of Scientific and Industrial Research 36(8): 322-324.
Notes: Oviposition and rate of development of Anagyrus pseudococci, a parasitoid of Planococcus citri, were determined at constant temperatures of 18, 21, 24, 27, 30 and 33 deg C in the laboratory. Most progeny were produced at 27 and 30 deg C. The developmental rate for both the sexes showed a good fit to a linear regression model over a wide range of temperatures. Males developed faster than females at all temperatures. The lower developmental threshold was estimated to be 13.06 and 12.57 deg C for males and females, resp.
