Abstract

Hyperodes bonariensis Kuschel underwent ovarial diapause from March to August in the Bariloche area in Argentina. Feeding on germinating seedlings ofTriticum aestivum L. andPoa annua L. in continuous dark induced the weevil for oviposition in 24 and 32 days, respectively. Breeding techniques are described forH. bonariensis and its parasitePatasson atomarius (Brethes).
