Abstract
This study was performed to investigate the bionomical characteristics of Allomyrina dichotoma in Korea. The imaginal stage was from late June to late August, and the advent of imagoes was the most frequent in mid-July. The larvae inhibited in humus and the period of larva was all completed in late October. At the stage of the third larva, the larvae entered into the hibernation. The average number of laid eggs was 24, and all periods of each stage - eggs, first, second, third instar larvae and pupa - were shortened in $30^{\circ}C$ than in $25^{\circ}C$. As for the longevity of imagoes, female, reared in individual and in low temperature lived longer than male, in group and in high temperature, respectively.
