Abstract: Improving the indoor reproductive efficiency of Chouioia cunea needs the cooperation of larva rejuvenation, tussah pupa selection for breeding, and breed selection before large scale reproduction. The quality of larva rejuvenation determines the efficiency of large scale reproduction, and it is better to collect wild breed for rejuvenation. In the early stage of large scale indoor reproduction, it is necessary to inoculate the tussah pupa to test the parasitic rate. The tussah pupa should have hard texture, show icy color on the transparent part of the head, and have high and stable parasitic rate, furthermore, should have gone through the low temperature treatment within 5 years of duration. Before the large scale inoculation, it is better to select the tussah pupa of early maturation, timely manner, large quantity, and needing 12 h for a parasitic tussah pupa to finish pupating.

Key words: Chouioia cunea, indoor, reproductive efficiency
