Lariophagus distinguendus,an ectoparasitoid of rice weevil, laid its eggs exclusively on the third and fourth larvae, with the preference for the fourth larva. The sex ratio of the pa¬rasitoid can be regulated by the female parasitoid on the basis of the host size available at the time of oviposition.

This study was conducted to investigate specific stages and distribution of overwintering nymphs of green rice leafhopper, Nephotettix cincticeps by measuring head capsule width. The nymphal head capsule width of the 1st instar to the 5th instar was 0.381, 0.502, 0.673, 0.979 and 1.128 mm, respectively. lts coefficient variation was 5.3, 4.0, 3.0, 4.5 and 5.3%, respectively. Growth ratio of each instar was not significantly different among 2nd to 4th instars as 1.31 to 1.34, but for the 5th instar it decreased as 1.28. The logarithm of the nymphal head capsule width was regressed as a function of the stage number of insects, resulting in LogY = 1.4627 + 0.1192X ($r^2= 0.9993$). Also fitness to the Dyar's law for the nymphal head capsule width of each instar was 98% or over and the Dyar's constant (K) was 1.316. The occurrence of N. cincticeps was maximum at the end of January with 195 individuals/0.25 $m^2$. The most abundant instar in the overwintering N. cincticeps population was 4th instar accounting for over 90%. Population of the 5th instar began to increase from mid-March, and adults began to occur in early April.

Control effects of some insecticides were evaluated against the stone leek leafminer, Liriomyra chinensis Kato (Diptera： Agromyzidae) with the some different treatment methods. Insecticidal activities effects were estimated on the different development stages of the insects on welsh onion. The insecticides that controlled L. chinensis eggs with over 83％ efficacy were spinosad, dimethoate, emamectin, and cartap. The insecticides that showed over 87％ of larvicidal activity were dimethoate and cartap. Dimethoate showed 93.3％ insecticide residual activity for 3 days a(ter treatment as a foliar spray. For control of pupae, the insecticides that showed over 88％ of contact insecticidal activity were terbufos GR and cartap GR. Both dimethoate and cartap had high adulticidal activity with over 95％ control efficacy.

This study was conducted to investigate occurrence and host ranges of Liriomyza trifolii Burgess, American serpentineleafminer, in Chonnam province. Also, temperature effects on the development along with morphologicalcharacteristics in each instar of L. trifolii were studied. L. hifolii was observed from 22 species inthe 7 families. Gerbera, chrysanthemum and tomato were the most damaged host plants. Egg was transparentwhite with lengthlwidth of 0.27 mm10.25 mm while matured larva was yellow with that of 2.03 mm10.80 mmrevealing serpentine gallary under leaf cuticle. Pupa was light brown with that of 1.75 mrn10.74 mm and pupatedon the soil and/or leaf surface. Lengthlwing span of adult was 1.78 mm/3.43 mm. Number of oviposition/sucking punches by L. bifolii adult was 26.1% and 13.3% in tomato and gerbera leaves respectively. Feedingactivity of larval stage was highest at 2OoC. Developmental~threshold (DT) and effective accumulative temperatures(ET) on gerbera leaves were 11.2"C, 33.9DD in egg, 10.3'C, 38.6DD in larva, 10.7"C, 152.3DD inpupa, and 10.8"C, 222.8DD from egg to pupa. On tomato leaves, DT and ET were 13.6"C, 20.2DD in egg, 9.3"C, 43.7DD in larva, ll.O$^{\circ}$C, 114.3DD in pupa, and 11.6"C 178.2DD from egg to pupaDD in pupa, and 11.6"C 178.2DD from egg to pupa pupa.

In a flour milling facility, control ability of superheating effect on Indian meal moth population was teated. Thirty adults, thirty larvae and 100 eggs were placed in a paper bag ($10{\times}20cm$) containing 100 g flour and were exposed to the temperature higher than $60^{\circ}C$ for longer than 3 hours. Mortality of the Indian meal moth (${\pm}standard error$) varied with the developmental stage; mortality (${\pm}standard error$) of egg, larvae and adult were in the range of $91.40{\pm}0.93{\sim}98.80{\pm}0.20\%,\;96.00{\pm}0.67{\sim}100\%$) and $100\%$, respectively. The position of paper bag caused differences in temperature and its exposure time to the moth during the experiment, consequently. The mortality of moth was significantly different among the bag position. Exposure of the paper bag to the temperature of higher than $60^{\circ}C$ for longer than 11 hours was not sufficient to kill all the eggs.

The study was conducted to investigate the developmental periods and effect of several insecticides on Hemiptarsenus sp., ectoparasitoid of Liriomyza trifolii. The mean length and width of egg were 0.5mm and 0.1mm. The mean length of larva, pupae, abult female, and abult male were 1.9mm, 2.0mm, 2.2mm, and 1.8mm, respectively. Developmental periods of Hemiptarsenus sp. from egg to larva at 15, 20, 25, $30^{\circ}C$ were 16.9, 8.8, 5.9, and 4.5 days, and those of pupa were 20.7, 9.7, 5.6, and 3.4 days, respectively. Based on these results, developmental threshold temperatures and effective temperatures were $9.5^{\circ}C$, 91.5 degree-days in egg-larval stage, $10.9^{\circ}C$, 142.3 degree-days in pupal stage. When several insecticides were evaluated to Hemiptarsenus sp. at the recommended concentrations, B.t WP, diflubenzuron WP, and cyromazin were negligiblly effective all life stages. Fipronil SC, cartap SP, spinosad GW were less toxic to larva and pupa, but highly toxic to adults. Abamectin EC was less toxic to all life stages, but inhibited oviposition of 50% more to Hemiptarsenus sp. female.

The control effects of four systemic insecticides $Disyston^{(R)}$ (disulfoton) 5G, $Temik^{(R)}$ (aldicarb) 15G, $Ortran^{(R)}$ (acephate) 5G and $Curaterr^{(R)}$ (carbofuran) 3G, on small brown planthopper, Laodetphax striatellus (fallen), were studied by applying them in the furrow of spring barley field. Two different application times; April 19 and 25, and three different dosage rates were used. The results are as follows: 1. No significant difference in the mortalities among the developmental stages were observed with the treated barley on April 25, when various life stages had infested on the cutting of the treated barley in the laboratory. The residual periods were 19 days for Disyston and 31 days for Temik. 2. With field experiments, highly effective control effects were obtained with Disyston and Temik. The residual period was longer with the treatment on April 19 than with those on April 25 for Disyston, while they were reverse for Temik. 3. The effective doses were 2kg/10a for Disyston, while the effectiveness lasted more than 40days with dose of 1kg/10a for Temik. 4. From above results, Disyston and Temik could effectively reduce the population of small brown planthopper in the barley field, which is the effective reproductive sources of the population in the rice field.

Development of Bracon hebetor Say parasitizing Indianmeal moth (Plodia interpunctella (Hubner) was studied at five temperature conditions (17, 20, 25, 28 and 32$\pm$0.5$^{\circ}C$) under a photoperiod of 16 : 8 (L : D). Developmental period (mean$\pm$s.e.) of B. hebetor from egg to eclosion decreased from 28.6$\pm$0.50 to 9.3 $\pm$0.09 days and 28.1 $\pm$0.51 to 9.2$\pm$0.09 days for female and male, respectively, as the temperature increased from 17 to $32^{\circ}C$. The combination model provided a good description of the relationship between temperature and development. The low temperature thresholds were estimated to be 14.0, 12.8, 15.1$^{\circ}C$ for development of egg, larva and pupa. The thresholds for normal development (outside of the boundary layer of the development) were 14.0, 17.5, $15.1^{\circ}C$ for egg, larva and pupa, respectively, indicating that the larval stage is more sensitive to the low temperature than the other stages. The results suggested that the present B. hebetor population could be another ecological race adapting to the seasonal temperature conditions of this area.
