The present work was carried out to determine the effect of two temperatures (27°C and 35>C) on the development of hide beetle (Dermestes maculatus DeGeer 1774). This research was carried out at the Department of Biological Sciences, Usmanu Danfodio University, Sokoto, 2015. The samples of hide beetle were collected along with the infested dried fish from a local market in Sokoto metropolis, Sokoto State, Nigeria. The adult hide beetles were identified based on morphological features using standard taxonomic key and mother culture was maintained at ambient temperature and humidity. Eggs viability of 92.6% with 6 larval instars and 82.1 mean pupal survival at 27"C was recorded. This was in comparison with 91.7% eggs viability, 8 larval instars and mean pupal survival of 86.7% at 35C. The results showed significant difference for eggs (tca/of 4.4, ttab 2.78 at 5% degree confidence level) larvae (tea/of 6.8, ttab at 2.45 at 5% degree confidence level) and pupae (tea/of 7.44 as against ttab of 2.36).
