Abstract

Hippodamia (Semiadalia) undecimnotata(Coleoptera: Coccinellidae), collected from central Greece and reared in cages during 1993–1994 and in vials during 1994–1995 outdoors at Kifissia, Athens, completed 5 generations per year. In both cases, adults of the 1st, 2ndand 3rdgenerations reproduced, completing their egg laying in the same year; 4thand 5thgeneration adults reproduced both in the year they emerged and the following year. In both cases, adults of the 1stand 2ndgenerations died before winter; in 1993, adults of the 3rdgeneration died before winter, in 1994, they survived until April 1995. Adults of the 4thand 5thgenerations overwintered successfully. The greatest numbers of eggs were laid by females of the 1stand 2ndgenerations.
