The duration of development and length of adult life of Stegobium paniceum (L.) has been recorded at a large number of sets of conditions; the ranges for development are 15–35°C and 30–100 per cent r.h. The most rapid development was at 30°C and 80–95 per cent r.h., the highest survival to the adult stage was seen at 20–30°C and 95 per cent r.h., and at 27·5–30°C and 50–55 per cent r.h. The heaviest adults were formed at about 20°C, 70 per cent r.h. and lived longest at low temperatures. The optima for various aspects of performance, which occur at different sets of conditions (based on these data and those of other workers), are considered to form a homeostatic mechanism for the persistence of populations of the species. A brief comparison is made with Lasioderma serricorne (F.).
