The insects were collected from citrus plants in Itapetininga, SP, and brought to the Laboratorio de Biologia de Insetos of ESALQ/USP, in Piracicaba, SP, where the species Naupactus cervinus (Boheman), Naupactus versatilis (Hustache) and Parapantomorus fluctuosus (Boheman) were kept. Duration and viability of the egg phase were evaluated, and the lower temperature threshold and thermal constant (K) were calculated for these species. The species of citrus root weevils showed different duration of egg phases. The egg phase ranged from 40.4 to 13.8 N. cervinus, from 38.7 to 20.0 days for N. versatilis, and from 35.0 to 13.8 days for P. fluctuosus, depending upon temperature. The temperature thresholds of this stage were 8. 1, 8.3, and 9.9[degree]C at thermal constant was 385.7, 397.7 and 294.1 degree-days, for N. cervinus, N versatilis and P fluctuosus respectively. The duration of the egg phases of N. cervinus and N. versatilis were similar at the same temperatures and P. fluctuosus had a faster development than Naupactus spp. in all temperatures tested.10aNaupactus cervinus10aNaupactus versatilis10aParapantomorus fluctuosus1 aGuedes, Jerson, V.

Damage is caused by the larvae as they bore into the nodes and can reach 30 ton/ha/year. Many control alternatives have been attempted, but none were satisfactory, except for the use of toxic baits. Therefore, it is necessary to optimize their efficiency or to propose new techniques. The objective of the current study was to evaluate the attractiveness of adults of S. levis to sugarcane nodes and pineapple peelings in an "Y" tube olfactometer. The sugarcane internodes were treated with 10% molasses, and tested after different periods of fermentation (24, 48 e 72h), at different times of the day (diurnal and nocturnal) and with both sexes. These tests were carried out in order to correlate the response of S. levis to ethyl acetate and ethanol release as a result of the fermentation process. The release of both compounds was monitored by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Our data indicated that sugarcane internodes mixed with 10% molasses fermented for 24h and 48h were the most attractive to S. levis (up to 90%). Pineapple peelings attracted 62.5% of the tested insects. The olfactory response was higher during the day, and no differences were found between the sexes. The production of ethanol in all plant substrates was higher than ethyl acetate, but we could not establish a clear correlation with the insect response to baits.10aSphenophorus levis1 aGiron-Perez, Katherine1 aNakano, Octavio1 aSilva, Amanda, C.1 aOda-Souza, Melissa  uhttps://weevil.myspecies.info/attraction-sphenophorus-levis-vaurie-adults-coleoptera-curculionidae-vegetal-tissues-different-conse01366nas a2200193   4500008004100000020001400041245005900055210005900114260001600173300001200189490000700201520074900208653003000957653002200987100002201009700003001031700002501061856008601086       2009                        eng d  a1519-566X00aInsect pests dissemination by extruded starch packages0 aInsect pests dissemination by extruded starch packages  cJuly-August  a548-5490 v383 aWe observed the viability of extruded starch products used as impact protector for fragile packing as a food source of the following stored grains pests: Cryptolestes ferrugineus (Stephens), Lasioderma serricorne (Fabr.), Oryzaephilus surinamensis (L.), Sitophilus oryzae (L.), Tribolium castaneum (Herbst) (Coleoptera) and Plodia interpunctella (Hubner) (Lepidoptera).

This work aimed at evaluating the occurrence of P. papayanus and reporting its infestation level in papaya genotypes kept at the germplasm bank of Embrapa Cassava & Tropical Fruits (Cruz das Almas, Bahia, Brazil). The number of larvae, pupae and adults found in each plant of 65 Carica spp. genotypes and of three Vasconcella spp. genotypes was registered in three to five plants of each genotype, by cutting the exsudating trunks lenghtwise. Papaya borer weevil was found in C. papaya and V. cauliflora but not in those of V. quercifolia. Among the evaluated genotypes, 52.4% of those belonging to the Solo group were infested, against 25.0% of the Formosa group. Larval infestation was the best criterion for sorting out genotypes concerning this insect infestation. This is also the first occurrence of the papaya borer weevil on V. cauliflora.10aPseudopiazurus papayanus1 aFancelli, Marilene1 aSanches, Nilton, F.1 aDantas, Jorge, L. L.1 aMorales, Cinara, F.

The present study considers the hypothesis that the rates of seed predation tend to be smaller in years of higher fruit production. Thus, we monitored the production of fruits and predation of seeds of the palm Syagrus romanzoffiana over 2 years in the Atlantic Forest (Parque Municipal da Lagoa do Peri, Florianpolis, SC, Brazil), between July 2006 and June 2008. Plots of 0.25 m2 were fitted under 20 mother plants and fruits were monthly collected for assessment of abundance and seed predation. There was variation in fruit production between the 2 years and among reproductive plants. Predation rates were high and occurred in the predispersal phase by the Curculionidae Revena rubiginosa Boheman, Anchylorhynchus aegrotus Fahraeus, and Anchylorhynchus variabilis Gyllenhal. Seed predation by these species of Anchylorhynchus is first registered in the present study. In average, about 60% of the seeds monthly produced in the population tend to escape insect predation in year of high or low production, becoming available for recruitment. The predation rate was not related to the amount of fruits produced per reproductive plant. Also, different than expected, there was a positive relation between the rates of seed predation and the total of fruits produced monthly on the plots. Thus, no evidence for the satiation of insect seed predators was found in this study with S. romanzoffiana.10aAnchylorhynchus aegrotus10aAnchylorhynchus variabilis10aRevena rubiginosa1 ada Silva, F., R.1 aBegnini, R., M.1 aLopes, B., C.1 aCastellani, T., T.  uhttps://weevil.myspecies.info/temporal-variation-seed-predation-insects-population-syagrus-romanzoffiana-arecaceae-santa-catarina01312nas a2200229   4500008004100000020001400041245015500055210006900210260002100279300001200300490000700312520041300319653001300732100003200745700002700777700003000804700003100834700002600865700002800891700002800919856013500947       2007                        eng d  a1519-566X00aGenitalia of three species of Heilipus Germar (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) that damage avocado fruits (Persea americana Mill.) in Mexico and Costa Rica0 aGenitalia of three species of Heilipus Germar Coleoptera Curculi  cNovember-Decembe  a914-9180 v363 aThe male and female genitaliae of three species of the genus Heilipus Germar (H. lauri Boheman, H. pittieri Barber and H. trifasciatus Fabricius) that damage avocado fruits (Persea americana Mill.) in Mexico and Costa Rica are described and illustrated.

Beauveria bassiana is a generalist entomopathogenic fungus widely used by coffee farmers to control this pest and Phymastichus coffea LaSalle (Hymenoptera: Eulophidae) is an African endoparasitoid of H. hampei adults, recently imported to several Latin American and Caribbean countries to aid in the coffee berry borer control. The objective of this study was to determine if B. bassiana is detrimental to P. coffea. The susceptibility of the parasitoid was evaluated in terms of adult survivorship, mean lethal concentration (LC50), mean lethal time (LT50), reproduction and immature mortality. The main effect of the fungus resulted in reduction of adult longevity and mortality of 100% for immature stages of this parasitoid. The LC50 for adults was 0.11% equivalent to 9.53 x 107 conidia/ml of B. bassiana and a LT50 of 29.4h, equivalent to reduction of 22% of its normal longevity as an adult. P. coffea was capable of disseminating spores of B. bassiana to non-infected H. hampei adults, which could indirectly cause the death of its own progeny. These results could be valuable when considering the use of both organisms in the field, especially in an integrated pest management program.10aHypothenemus hampei1 aCastillo, Alfredo1 aGomez, Jaime1 aInfante, Francisco1 aVega, Fernando, E.  uhttps://weevil.myspecies.info/susceptibility-parasitoid-phymastichus-coffea-lasalle-hymenoptera-eulophidae-beauveria-bassiana-unde00963nas a2200193   4500008004500000020001400045245012000059210006900179260002100248300001200269490000700281520020700288653001900495100003200514700003300546700002800579700002700607856013500634       2009                        Spandsh    a1519-566X00aPersea schiedeana (Lauraceae), a new host of Heilipus lauri Boheman (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) in Veracruz, Mexico0 aPersea schiedeana Lauraceae a new host of Heilipus lauri Boheman  cNovember-Decembe  a871-8720 v383 aThe presence of the Molytinae Heilipus lauri Boheman is reported for the first time attacking fruits of Persea schiedeana, commonly called "chinene" in Huatusco and Zongolica, state of Veracruz, Mexico.10aHeilipus lauri1 aCastaneda-Vildozola, Alvaro1 aDel Angel-Coronel, Oscar, A.1 aCruz-Castillo, Juan, G.1 aValdez-Carrasco, Jorge  uhttps://weevil.myspecies.info/persea-schiedeana-lauraceae-new-host-heilipus-lauri-boheman-coleoptera-curculionidae-veracruz-mexico00616nas a2200145   4500008004100000245012600041210006900167300001200236490000700248100001700255700002300272700002000295700002000315856013500335       2003                        eng d00aLife-history of the guava weevil, Conotrachelus psidii marshall (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), under laboratory conditions.0 aLifehistory of the guava weevil Conotrachelus psidii marshall Co  a203-2070 v321 aBailez, O.E.1 aViana-Bailez, A.M.1 ade Lima, J.O.G.1 aMoreira, D.D.O.  uhttps://weevil.myspecies.info/life-history-guava-weevil-conotrachelus-psidii-marshall-coleoptera-curculionidae-under-laboratory-co00882nas a2200169   4500008004800000245010000048210006900148260001900217300001200236490000700248520025500255653001400510653002600524100002300550700002000573856011900593       2003                        Portdguese  00aArniticus brevicollis Pascoe (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), pest of mulberry in Sao Paulo, Brazil0 aArniticus brevicollis Pascoe Coleoptera Curculionidae pest of mu  cJuly-September  a513-5140 v323 aArniticus brevicollis Pascoe (Curculionidae: Molytinae: Hylobiini) is recorded for the first time attacking mulberry plants (Morus alba L.) in the state of Sao Paulo, Brazil.

The immature stages and host plants are unknown.10aScelianoma elydimorpha1 aFranz, N., M.1 aGirón, J.C.  uhttp://academic.uprm.edu/%7Efranz/publications/Scelianoma.pdf00664nas a2200169   4500008004100000245010800041210006900149260002000218300001200238490000700250653002000257653003500277100002200312700001900334700001500353856012600368       2003                        eng d00aNeodiplogrammus quadrivittatus (Olivier) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) in the State of São Paulo, Brazil0 aNeodiplogrammus quadrivittatus Olivier Coleoptera Curculionidae   cJuly/Sept. 2003  a511-5120 v3210aNeodiplogrammus10aNeodiplogrammus quadrivittatus1 aSánchez-Soto, S.1 aGuedesII, J.C.1 aNakano, O.  uhttp://www.scielo.br/pdf/ne/v32n3/18770.pdfhttp://www.scielo.br/scielo.php?script=sci_arttext&pid=S1519-566X200300030002201733nas a2200133   4500008004100000245014400041210006900185300001200254490000700266520122500273100001801498700001701516856006601533       2009                        eng d00aScelianoma elydimorpha, a new genus and new species of entimine weevil from southwestern Puerto Rico (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Entiminae)0 aScelianoma elydimorpha a new genus and new species of entimine w  a219-2300 v383 aScelianoma elydimorpha Franz & Girón, new genus and new species, an entimine weevil endemic to southwestern Puerto Rico, is described and illustrated in detail, and assigned to the tribe Eustylini (Curculionidae: Entiminae). Scelianoma is distinguished from related taxa by the following diagnostic features: shape narrowly elongate, length/width ratio 2.8-3.5; integument with densely arranged scales; pronotum without conspicuous sculpturing; male metatibia with row of 5-7 teeth, each tooth with a spine-like seta; female metatibia lacking teeth, yet with row of long, narrowly depressed setae; metatibial corbel linear; elytral humeri absent, elytra in lateral view with dorsal outline subplane, lacking cuticular projections, posterior declivity strongly angulate, slightly convex (male) to rectate (female); and wings absent. The elytra of S. elydimorpha are sexually dimorphic, attenuating in males along the posterior 5/6 yet mostly subparallel in females, and the females furthermore have two rows of erect setae along each mesal side of the declivity. Scelianoma elydimorpha is common on the southern limestone slopes of the well-preserved Guánica dry forest. The immature stages and host plants are unknown.1 aFranz, N., M.1 aGirón, J.C.  uhttp://academic.uprm.edu/%7Efranz/publications/Scelianoma.pdf
