【目的】 根据新疆气候特点和白星花金龟Protaetia brevitarsis Lewis生物学特性，探究在新疆人工繁育白星花金龟的可行性及潜力，以期为白星花金龟在新疆的人工繁殖和转化利用畜禽粪便提供科学依据。【方法】 以牛粪为繁育基质，在适宜季节分别在室内外保育白星花金龟的蛹及作为成虫产卵基质，最终统计比较室内外成虫的羽化及产卵情况。【结果】 室外露天条件更利于白星花金龟的羽化，老熟幼虫做土室26 d后羽化出成虫，比室内及室外棚下处理提前4 d。在化蛹30 d后进入羽化高峰期，持续13 d，羽化率83%。成虫雌雄比接近1∶1，雌虫羽化时间早于雄虫1-3 d。白星花金龟成虫室内外产卵量差异不显著（P<0.05），室内单雌产卵量109.80粒，室外105.94粒，成虫羽化后30-35 d进入产卵高峰期，第60天室内外成虫产卵量显著下降（P<0.05），甚至不产卵。【结论】 白星花金龟规模化人工繁育在新疆是可行性的，在室外自然条件和室内控温条件下白星花金龟繁育的效果差异不显著。

[Objectives]  To investigate the feasibility and economic potential of the captive breeding of Protaetia brevitarsis Lewis in Xinjiang with a view to providing a scientific basis for this process and the utilization of livestock and poultry feces in this province. [Methods]  Cattle manure was used as a breeding and oviposition substrate for adults. P. brevitarsis pupae were reared both indoors and outdoors in the appropriate seasons and oviposition and emergence rates of indoor and outdoor colonies was compared. [Results]  Outdoor conditions were more conducive to adult emergence. In outdoor colonies, adults emerged 26 days after pupation, 4 days earlier than those kept indoors or in outdoor sheds. The peak period of emergence, during which the emergence rate reached 83%, began 30 days after pupation and lasted for 13 days. The post-emergence male-female sex ratio was close to 1∶1. Females emerged about 1 to 3 days earlier than males. There was not much difference in the oviposition rates of indoor and outdoor colonies, which were 109.80 eggs per female and 105.94 eggs per female, respectively. Both indoor and outdoor colonies entered the peak period of oviposition 30-35 days after emergence but oviposition declined sharply to almost zero by the 60th day. [Conclusion]  Large-scale artificial breeding of P. brevitarsis is feasible in Xinjiang. There is little difference in oviposition and adult emergence rates, or in the adult sex ratio, of colonies kept outdoors under natural conditions and those kept indoors under temperature controlled conditions.
