Abstract: Supercooling points and freezing points of adults of Monolepta occifuvis (Gressitt et Kimoto) were measured in laboratory from Nanning, Guangxi Province. The mean supercooling points of the female and male adults were -10.75℃ and -8.88℃ respectively, while their freezing point were -6.5℃ and -3.80 ℃.The results revealed stronger cold hardness in female adults than in male adults. Initial temperature and Effective accumulated temperature of eggs were measured under natural temperature. The results showed that the developmental threshold temperature and the effective accumulative temperature for the egg were estimated to be15.8±0.7℃ and 142.5±9.5 degree days, respectively
