Rosas García Biología head capsules Life cycle larval instars artificial diet A novel species of Argyrotaenia (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae) Stephens, was found in some avocadoorchards in the Pacific coast from the Mexican states of Nayarit and Michoacan. Individuals obtained fromthe field were reared under laboratory conditions to determine their life cycle and biology. An artificial dietdesigned for lepidopterans, as well as a temperature of 26 ± 1ºC and a relative humidity of 65 ± 5% allowedthe development of one generation per month and successful insect development. Female pupae showed anincrease in weight and size through five generations, while weight and size in male pupae remained stable.The complete life cycle of this insect is around 32-36 days under laboratory conditions, and developmentalstages using this diet under laboratory conditions mentioned above are as follows: egg, 5-6 days, larva, 18-20 days, pupa, 6-7 days, and adult, 15-20 days. Argyrotaenia has five larval instars in the laboratory. Thisstudy has clarified confusion surrounding this novel species of Argyrotaenia with some members of the genusAmorbia (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae), due to similarity in morphology and habits in both insects. 2008 artículo científico 0065-1737 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=57524107 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=575 Acta Zoológica Mexicana (nueva serie) application/pdf Instituto de Ecología, A.C.
