Período pupal da dermatobia hominis, diptera cuterebridae, em condicoes de temperatura ambiente / Pupal stage of dermatobia hominis, diptera cuterebridae, at environment temperature conditions

RESUMO

The period pupal stage of dermatobia hominis has been studied from third instar larvae, extracted from cattle, under ambient temperature conditions. Emergency of adults of D. hominis ranged from 6,7 percent to 42,9 percent. The pupal stage duration ranged from 23 to 37 days, with average of 27,4 days. The average duration of this stage (27,0 days), in males, was significantly lower (P<0,01) than the females (27,7 days). It has been showed a significant Pearson correlation (r=-0,90, P<0,01) between pupal stage duration and minimum and maximum temperatures averages
