Larval and pupal periods of Peckia chrysostoma and Adiscochaeta ingens (Diptera: Sarcophagidae) reared under laboratory conditions
Peckia chrysostoma obtained mean viability of 97.0±2.4% for larvae and of 96.9±2.5% for pupae (total viability of 94.0±3.7%). Adiscochaeta ingens obtained mean viability of 93.0±7.5% for larvae and of 92.8±7.6% for pupae (total viability of 86.0±7.3%). P. chrysostoma obtained mean larval period of 185±4 hr at 18ºC, of 94±2 hr at 27ºC and of 88±2 hr at room temperature (range of 23ºC and 29ºC). A. ingens obtained mean larval period of 169±1 hr at 18ºC, of 77±1 hr at 27ºC and of 84±2hr at room temperature. P. chrysostoma obtained mean pupal period of 23.5±1.3 days at 18ºC, of 12.5±0.7 days at 27ºC and of 15.5±0.7 days at room temperature. A. ingens obtained mean pupal period of 33.0±2.2 days at 18ºC, of 16.0±1.0 days at 27ºC and of 19.0±1.0 days at room temperature.
