This study has been carried out to investigate proteinase activity of digestive juice and sucrase activity of midgust tissue in the 5th day of the 5th instar influenced by the dietary composition (quantitative ratio between carbohydrate and protein) and tile rearing temperature during the 4th moulting period. The larvae grew on three kinds of semi-synthetic diet. The A-diet has more carbohydrate than the others, the B-diet has carbohydrate in 1 : 2 with protein, and the C-diet has more protein than the others. All the diets were kept at 16, 25 and 33 during the 4th moulting period. Proteinase activity of digestive juice at the 5th day of the 5th instar was analyzed by Anson’s hemoglobin method. Sucrase activity of midgut tissue at the 5th day of 5th instar was analyzed by Somogyi-Nelson’s method. The results were as follows. 1. The dietary composition influencing contents of blood sugar was not related to the rearing temperature during the 4th moulting period. The contents of blood sugar appeared to increase in A-diet, B-diet and C-diet order, while proteinase and sucrase activity were stronger in C-diet, B-diet and A-diet order. 2. All kinds of diets showed almost the same fact that proteinase activity at 16 was stronger than that at 32. 3. It was found that sucrase activity became gradualy stronger at 32, 25 and 16 in order in all kinds of diets. 4. There was an interaction in proteinase activity between the dietary composition and the rearing temperature in male larval digestive juice during the 4th mouiting period. On the other hand, there was an inter-acion in sucrase activity between the dietary composition and the rearing temperature in both female and male larval midgut tissue during the 4th moulting period.
