Development of the Short-Horned Grasshoppers, Oxya sinuosa, at the Constant Temperature

恒溫條件下에서의 우리벼메뚜기 ( Oxya sinuosa ) 의 發育

The short-horned grasshoppers, Oxya sinuosa Mistshenko, were reared in the growth cabinet exposed alternately to 16 hours of artificial light (510${\pm}$240 lux) and 8 hours of darkness under the condition of constant temperature of 30${\circ}C$ and 65${\pm}$3% in relative humidity. The results obtained in this study are summarized as follows. Both female and male grasshoppers had seven instars. In the larval developmental stages of female and male, the third stage was shorter than the other stages, and the longest stage was the seventh. The total developmental period of females and males were approximately 80.17 and 63.5 days, respectively. The survivorship curve at the temperature of 30${\circ}C$ shows straight line.
