Abstract
Laboratory studies were made of egg production, viability of eggs, adult female longevity, and compatability of parent crosses between males and females of 2 widely separated populations of Aulocara elliotti (Thomas). The populations were found to differ significantly in the number of eggs produced per female per adult day. Females of both populations were found to be compatable with the foreign males. A difference in longevity was observed but it had no effect on egg production. The population which produced the most eggs in captivity survived in the field the year following the tests, while the other population was extremely sparse.
