Year: 1986

Type: article

Abstract: A method of rearing fungus gnats of Corynoptera sp. (Diptera: Sciaridae) is described, based on a diet of bean seed and horticultural peat. The gnats completed development from egg to adult in 13-15 days at 24 + 2° C. Oviposition and longevity were increased by a honey supplement to the adults.
