Abstract
Life-fertility tables were described for Bracon hebetor Say (Hymenopte ra: Braconidae) developing on the millet head caterpillar (MHC), Helio cheilus albipunctella de Joannis (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae). Mated B. he betor females lived an average of 24.7 days, oviposited ca. 22 days, a nd produced 173.7 adult progeny with a 1:1 sex ratio. The estimated in nate capacity of increase (r(sic)) and net reproductive rate (R0) were 0.26 and 86.5, respectively. The mean generation time was 17 days.
