Abstract:

Life table of Antilochus conqueberti Fabr. (Hemiptera: Pyrrhocoridae), a potential predator of Dysdercus cingulatuswas studied with the data being constructed and analysed under laboratory conditions. The study paved the way for comparing the nymphal mortality and adult longevity for three generations and the mean values were found which proved that the mortality rate in nymphal stage differed with the mortality in adult stage.

Keywords:

Antilochus conqueberti, Dysdercus cingulatus, life table, mortality rate, adult longevity.
