Abstract

Bostrichidae Coleoptera
The seasonal abundance of Enneadesmus obtusedentatus Lesne (Col.: Bostrichidae) was studied on fig trees near Alexandria during 3 years, 1987, 1988 and 1989. Beetles started to emerge from late February/early March until late November/early December. About three broods per year were recorded. Infestation increased by almost three times throughout 2 years. Beetle emergence was positively related to temperature and negatively to relative humidity.
