none The present studies deal with life tables and intrinsic rate of increase of C. flavipes (Cam.), an internal larval parasitoid of C. partellus (Swin.). The mated female had an average of 5.8 days ovipositional period and produced an average of 70.5 adult progeny with sex ratio 1.28:1 (m:f). The maximum mean progeny production per day, m sub(x) was 15.6. The innate capacity of increase was 0.176 per female per day and population multiplied to 30.72 times in mean generation time of 19.45 days.
