Development and reproduction of the persimmon fruit moth, Stathmopoda masinissa, were investigated under different temperatures (15, 20, 25, and 3$0^{circ}C$). It took 96.1 days to grow from egg to adult at 2$0^{circ}C$, 43.2 days at $25^{circ}C$, and 34.6 days at 3$0^{circ}C$. At 15$^{circ}C$, all tested individuals died before pupation. The developmental threshold temperatures for egg, larva, pupa, and adult were 12.2, 13.5, 13.8, and 13.4$^{circ}C$, respectively. The total effective temperatures for egg, larva, pupa, and egg to adult were 74.0, 331.3, 160.5, and 569.9 degree days, respectively. The hatching, pupation, and emergence rates were highest at $25^{circ}C$. The average life span of adult prior to laying eggs and the total life span of adult were 12.6 and 29.3 days at 2$0^{circ}C$, 3.8 and 8.6 days at $25^{circ}C$, and 2.5 and 7.0 days at 3$0^{circ}C$, respectively. Mean generation time in days (T) was shorter at higher temperature. Net reproductive rate per generation (R$_{o}$) was lowest at 2$0^{circ}C$. The intrinsic rate of natural increase (r$_{m}$) was highest at $25^{circ}C$ as 0.066.
