Development of Diaprepes abbreviatus on Potted Citrus Seedlings
The Florida Entomologist, 1975 Adult Diaprepes abbreviatus (L.) were recovered from citrus seedlings 132 through 168 days after infestation of the plants with 0- to 24-hour old larvae. Pupae were recovered 98 through 238 days after infestation. The number of larval instars could not be determined from the frequency distribution curves of head capsule measurements.
