description (1) Background: Fluxametamide is a novel isoxazoline insecticide. Rice stem borer <i>Chilo suppressalis</i> (Walker) is a destructive Lepidoptera pest of rice in China, and novel effective insecticides are required to be developed for controlling it due to its increasing resistance levels. (2) Results: In the lethal assay, the insecticidal activity of fluxametamide with median lethal dose (LD<sub>50</sub>) value of 1.308 mg/kg to the fourth-instar larvae of <i>C. suppressalis</i> was higher than that of chlorantraniliprole (LD<sub>50</sub>, 3.112 mg/kg) and lower than that of emamectin benzoate (LD<sub>50</sub>, 0.006 mg/kg). In the sublethal (LD<sub>10</sub> and LD<sub>30</sub>) assay, the duration of third to sixth-instar larvae, the pupal duration, pupation rate, and life cycle rate were significantly increased in F<sub>0</sub> generation. Both the length and weight of the ovarian tube were decreased with the dose increase of fluxametamide, and were significantly smaller in the LD<sub>30</sub> treatment than those of the control group. In F<sub>1</sub> generation, only the duration of eggs was significantly increased with LD<sub>30</sub> treatment of fluxametamide, whereas other developmental parameters had no significant change. (3) Conclusion: Fluxametamide had relatively strong lethal and sublethal effects on <i>C. suppressalis</i> and probably was able to affect the population growth and progeny of <i>C. suppressalis</i>.
