Morphological characteristics, development period, and seasonal occurrence of Adeia leucomelas(L.) were investigated from 1999 to 2000. In addition, consumption of sweetpotato as food was also examined . Adults of A. leucomelas were dark-brown and body length of fermales and males were 20.2mm and 18.9mm,. respectively. Wing expanse of female and male was 33.7mm and 29.4mm, respectively. Wing expanse of female of male was 33.7mm and 29.4mm, respectively. Egg was flat round-shape. Larva was light yellow-green o dark-brown with 3.3-53.5mm. Pupa was deep-brown and 15.1,20,25 and 30¡É were 108.5, 70.7, 40.2 and 29.1 days, respectively. Developmental threshold and effective accumulative temperatures were estimated as 10.7¡É and 67.5DD in egg stage, 11.0¡É and 275.1DD in larval stage and 9.3¡É and 244.6DD inpupal stage, respectively . The longevity of adult female was shortened with increment of temperature, whereas the total numbers of eggs laid by a female were increased.
