Abstract

The life cycles of Phyllophaga ravida (Blanchard), P. macrocera Bates, P. vetula (Horn), P. ilhuicaminai Morón, and P. obsoleta (Blanchard) under laboratory conditions are described. The eggs were obtained from mated adults collected in various localities in the state of Puebla, Mexico. Larvae were placed in a breeding chamber with 26 ± 2 oC temperature and 70 ± 5 % humidity, in pots containing soil and slices of carrot roots. The life cycle for the five species is annual. Life table and adults flying times for each species are presented.
