[Larval development and determinism of nymphal diapause in a Lepidoptera, Actias selene Hbn. (Attacidae) (author's transl)].
Actias selene has been reared under different conditions of lights, photophases and temperatures. The red light (630-670 nm) corresponding to the maximum of absorption of pterobilin and phorcabilin chromoproteins reduces the average length of development from 29 days to 50 days and totally inhibits the nymphal diapause. The results are discussed.
