Abstract
The biology of E. atomosa was studied in the laboratory during 2004-05 on pigeon pea. The mean longevity of the adult was 6.59±0.38 days. The average number of eggs laid by an adult female was 93 to 101 eggs hatched in 2.92 to 3.02 days. There were five larval instars which took 23.12±0.93 days to enter into pupal stage. Pupation took place on pod surface or entrance of hole or in the burrow of infested pods and the pupal period lasted for ~7.97±0.33 days. The life cycle of E. atomosa was completed in 40 to 42 days.
