Scopula subpunctaria, is one of important defoliating insect pests of tea plants in China. However, the effect of temperature on its longevity and fecundity had not been reported, and the temperature-dependent oviposition model is lacking. The reproductive characteristics of S. subpunctaria were investigated under eight constant temperatures (13, 16, 19, 22, 25, 28, 31, and 33℃), with a 14L: 10D photoperid and 65–85% RH. The results showed that temperature significantly influence oviposition period, longevity, and fecundity of S. subpunctaria. The mean longevity of female adults increased from 10.8 days (33℃) to 33.9 days (13℃). Male lived shorter than female did. The mean longevity of males was shortest at 33℃ (8.1 days) and longest at 23.8℃ (17.6 days). Total fecundity of S. subpunctaria females ranged from 15.4 eggs at 33℃ to 279.9 eggs at 22℃. The temperature-dependent oviposition model of S. subpunctaria was constructed based on four sub-models (developmental rate model, total fecundity model, oviposition rate model, and survival rate model). The results of this study would be helpful in forecasting and predicting population occurrence of S. subpunctaria in tea plantations.

Scopula subpunctaria，是我国重要的茶树落叶害虫之一。然而，温度对其寿命和繁殖力的影响尚未见报道，并且缺乏温度依赖性产卵模型。在8个恒温条件下（13、16、19、22、25、28、31和33℃），14L：10D光膜和65-85% RH，研究了S. subpunctaria的繁殖特性。结果表明，温度对S. subpunctaria的产卵期、寿命和繁殖力有显着影响. 雌性成虫的平均寿命从10.8天（33℃）增加到33.9天（13℃）。男性的寿命比女性短。雄性平均寿命在33℃时最短（8.1天），在23.8℃时最长（17.6天）。S. subpunctaria雌性的总产卵量从 33℃ 15.4 个卵到 22℃ 279.9 个卵不等。基于4个子模型（发育率模型、总繁殖力模型、产卵率模型和存活率模型）构建S. subpunctaria温度依赖性产卵模型。本研究结果将有助于预测和预测茶园S. subpunctaria的种群发生情况。
