Abstract: The progress of embryonic development in eggs of the Australian Plague Locust, Chortoicetes terminifera (Walk.), is described and classified according to a generalized scheme of development proposed by Chapman and Whitham (1968). The time required to reach a given stage of development, when expressed as a percentage of the total incubation time, is shown to be independent of temperature, and similar to that recorded in other species of Acridoidea.

Le développement embryonnaire des oeufs du Criquet Australien Chortoicetes terminifera (Walk.) est décrit et subdivisé en stades conformément aux indications générales de Chapman and Whitham (1968). Le temps relatif nécessaire pour atteindre un stade donné de développement, exprimé en pourcentage de la durée totale de l'incubation, est indépendant de la température et comparable à celui calculé chez d'autres espèces d'Acridoidea.
