Summary

The temperate race (D) ofS. peregrina undergoes pupal diapause in response to certain environmental conditions of photoperiod (13L:11D–11L:13D) and temperature (under 20°C). The tropical race (ND) does not do so under the same circumstances. The tendency toward diapause was suppressed in 30–40% of the hybrids of crossings D♀×ND♂ and ND♀×D♂ even under such short day and low temperature conditions as 11L:13D–9L:15D, 20°C. For entering diapause, the hybrids require a shorter day length (13L:11D) than that of (D) parents (15L:9D).
