title: [Relationship between variations of temperature and humidity with reproduction of medical meloids].
abstract: This paper reports the relationship between variations of temperature and humidity with reproduction of two medical meloids (Mylabris phalerata, M. cichorii). The results show: for the copulation of two meloids, the suitable temperature is 22-28 degrees C, humidity 26-90%; for the suitable temperature and humidity of their oviposition, M. phalerata 26-28 degrees C and 60-68%, and M. cichorii 23-26 degrees C and 72-78%, respectively; for incubation, M. phalerata is 26-28 degrees C and 70-75% respectively, and M. cichorii must undergo the high and lower variation of temperature, the efficacious accumulative temperature must get of 1680.85 day. degrees C.
