| Abstract |
The larval parasitoid, Goniozus swirskiana was reared in the laboratory on larvae of the greater wax moth, Galleria mellonella. The incubation period of the parasitoid's egg averaged 36, 19 and 16 hours at 20, 25 and 30 °C, respectively. The larval stage lasted 10.5 days at 20 °C, 5.2days at 25 °C and 4.4days at 30 °C. The respective figures were 40, 21 and 18 hours for the pre pupa and 21.1, 6.4, and 4.4 days for the pupa. The total developmental period of the parasitoid ranged 25-28 days at 20 °C, 13-15 days at 25 °C and 9-11 days at 30 °C.
The pre-oviposition period of the parasitoid female averaged 3.0 days, the oviposition period averaged 8.4 days and the post- oviposition period averaged 2.4 days at 25 °C and 65 % R.H. It was found that the female did not deposit eggs daily and the period between two successive ovipositions reached up to 4 days with an average of 2.2 days. The number of eggs laid by female / oviposition ranged from one to 12 eggs. The total number of eggs deposited by a single female during her lifetime varied from 9 to 39 with an average of 21.5 eggs. At 25 °C, the female G. swirskiana ,fed on honey , lived for 12.9 days (6-16) while the male lived for 4.8 days (3-7). Sex ratio was found to be 1 male : 9 females .
