ABSTRACT Pomegranate trees are susceptible to many pests. Marketing quality of pomegranate fruits is mainly affected by the pomegranate butterfly Virachola livia. This study aimed to determine some bio-ecological parameters of Virachola livia (Klug) and the evaluation of their damages on pomegranate (Punica granatum) in the region of Djanet (Southeastern of Algeria). The percentage of infestation was 78.7% according to the penetration holes. However, depending on the number of eggs, it was 69.3%. The number of penetration holes and eggs by fruit varied between 1 and 24 (7.8 ± 5.7) holes/fruit and 1 to 15 (4.2 ± 3) eggs/fruit, respectively. The pupae stages last from 5 to 8 days (6.9 ± 1.2 days). The females can live between 8 and 16 days (10.9 ± 2.5 days), whereas the longevity of males varied between 4 and 11 days (8.8 ± 2.9 days).

阿尔及利亚撒哈拉地区石榴蝶Virachola Livia（鳞翅目：狼蛛科）的侵染状况及繁殖生物学

摘要石榴树易受多种害虫的侵害。石榴果实的销售质量主要受石榴蝴蝶Virachola livia的影响。本研究旨在确定 Virachola livia (Klug) 的一些生物生态参数，并评估它们对 Djanet（阿尔及利亚东南部）地区的石榴 (Punica granatum) 的损害。根据穿透孔，侵染百分比为78.​​7%。然而，根据鸡蛋的数量，它是 69.3%。水果的穿透孔和鸡蛋的数量分别在 1 到 24 (7.8 ± 5.7) 个孔/水果和 1 到 15 (4.2 ± 3) 个鸡蛋/水果之间变化。蛹期持续 5 至 8 天（6.9 ± 1.2 天）。雌性可以活 8 到 16 天（10.9 ± 2.5 天），而雄性的寿命在 4 到 11 天（8.8 ± 2.9 天）之间。
