| dc.description.abstract | Biology of the coconut white grub Leucopholis coneophora Burnt, was studied in detail in field cages. Egg period 23 days. The mean larval durations were 260 and 270 days and pupal durations 25.3 and 25.7 days, for males and females, respectively. Sexes of beetles could be differentiated by size of antennal club. Adults emerged from soil at dusk for mating and returned to the soil in 23-25 minutes. Adults did not congregate on plants as done by many melolonthids and were not found feeding on vegetation. | en_US |
