The Malaysian fruit fly, Bactrocera latifrons (Hendel), was confirmed to exist on Yonaguni Island. Okinawa in 1984. Development and reproductive ability of B. latifrons was measured at 26.5 deg C under 14L10D. B. latifrons were reared in our laboratory on fruit of eggplant: Solanum melongena L., an infested host on Yonaguni Island. The duration of preadult development was 22 days. Mortalities of 8.2, 45.2 and 7.8 % were recorded for egg, larval, and pupal stages, respectively. The mean total number of eggs per female oviposited in a device for collecting eggs was 945.2. Mean generation time (T) was 46.6 days, the net reproductive rate (Ro) was 221.1 and the intrinsic rate of increase (r) was 0.12.
