An efficient rearing methodology ba­sed on artificial diets was established for the Styloshantes spp stem bo­rer, Caloptilia sp; the artificial diets were elaborated with host plant flo­wers and the results showed that the resistant ecotype (S. capitata CIAT 1019) produced shorter and deformed insects when compared with those from the susceptible ecotype (S. guia­nensis CIAT 136). Crosses were made with males and females from both diets and an adverse effect of the re­sistant ecotype on the longevity, fecundity, and fertility of the insects was obtained.
