The relationship between temperature and carbohydrate contents was investigated in diapausing and early post-diapausing larvae of Enosima leucotaeniella. Larvae collected in October (diapause) and December (early post-diapause) were incubated for 30 days at six different temperatures (0 to 25℃). Trehalose contents in both the haemolymph and body were high at lower temperatures below 15℃ and reached a maximum at 5℃ in the overwintering larvae, irrespective of diapausing stage. However, the trehalose contents in early post-diapausing larvae were usually lower than those in diapausing ones. Glycogen contents were almost inversely proportional to trehalose contents, but decreased without increase of trehalose contents in early post-diapausing larvae at 20° and 25℃. Total carbohydrate contents (trehalose plus glycogen) in early post-diapausing larvae decreased at the higher temperatures, but were almost constant in diapausing larvae at every temperature.
