Abstract
Over 50 species of Cerambycidae have been reared on artificial diet, 17 of them from the egg. The method, which is described, has proved useful in reducing rearing time in the production of larvae and pupae for taxonomic purposes. It has also demonstrated the occurrence of diapause in some species of Cerambycidae. Other potentially fruitful lines of investigation, made feasible by this method, are suggested.Keywords
