ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT Scarabeoidea (Insecta: Coleoptera) present more than 2000 species recorded from all over Brazil. They have been scarcely recorded from caves, and truly troglobitic species are yet to be found in the country. In this study, we carried out a review of all existing scarab beetles deposited until 2017 in the Coleção de Invertebrados Subterrâneos de Lavras (ISLA), at the Universidade Federal de Lavras (UFLA) (Minas Gerais, Brazil), one of the most important collections of subterranean invertebrates in South America. Ninety-two individuals belonging to 52 species were recorded, distributed in six families (Cetoniidae, Hybosoridae, Melolonthidae, Passalidae, Scarabaeidae and Trogidae). Scarabaeidae was the most diverse of them, representing more than 50% of the total of species recorded. We found Scarabeoidea beetles in 51 of the ~ 1600 caves examined, distributed in nine Brazilian states: Alagoas, Bahia, Distrito Federal, Espírito Santo, Goiás, Minas Gerais, Pará, Piauí, and Tocantins. Our results provide evidence that Scarabaeoidea beetles are not frequent in Brazilian caves, and their records in this kind of environment are mostly accidental. Exceptions include Trogidae and Aphodiinae species, which may be associated with bat guano. Our study presents the first list of Scarabaeoidea species sampled in Brazilian caves.

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT: The scientific and economic importance of soybean root rot justifies the study of this disease, especially the role of insects as dispersers in the spread of root pathogens. The objective was to identify and evaluate qualitatively and quantitatively the role of Cyclocephala modesta, Dyscinetus gagates and Diloboderus abderus (Coleoptera: Melolonthidae ) in the dispersion of root pathogens in cultivated fields. The fungi were identified to the species level with DNA extraction and sequencing of these organisms within Melolonthidae larvae . Larvae were dissected and separated into the parts: mouth parts, prothorax, cuticle and digestive tract (alimentary canal). The Internal Transcribed Spacer region of the rRNA was amplified and compared to sequences deposited in GenBank. This is the first record of dispersion Fusarium oxysporum by Cyclocephala modesta, Dyscinetus gagates and Diloboderus abderus (Coleoptera: Melolonthidae ) under soybean in Brazil.


RESUMO: A importância científica e econômica da podridão radicular da soja justifica o estudo desta doença, especialmente o papel dos insetos como dispersores na disseminação de patógenos radiculares. O objetivo foi identificar e avaliar qualitativa e quantitativamente o papel de Cyclocephala modesta , Dyscinetus gagates e Diloboderus abderus (Coleoptera: Melolonthidae ) na dispersão de patógenos radiculares em campos cultivados. Os fungos foram identificados ao nível de espécie com a extração de DNA e sequenciamento desses organismos dentro de larvas Melolonthidae . As larvas foram dissecadas e separadas em partes: peças bucais, protórax, cutícula e trato digestivo (canal alimentar). A região ITS do RNA ribossômico foi amplificada e comparada com sequências depositadas no GenBank. Este é o primeiro registro da dispersão de Fusarium oxysporum por Cyclocephala modesta , Dyscinetus gagates e Diloboderus abderus (Coleoptera: Melolonthidae ) em cultura de soja no Brasil.

ABSTRACT

O objetivo deste trabalho foi determinar a relação entre a densidade populacional de espécies de corós (Coleoptera: Melolonthidae) reconhecidas como pragas e as outras espécies da mesma família que ocorrem em áreas cultivadas e não cultivadas no planalto, ao norte do Rio Grande do Sul. Foram realizadas amostragens em 23 municípios no período de julho a setembro, nos anos 2009 e 2010, em uma área cultivada e outra sem cultivo. Em cada área, foram abertas trincheiras de 50x25x30cm de profundidade. As larvas coletadas foram identificadas e reunidas em dois grupos: corós-praga e corós de outras espécies. Comparou-se a densidade populacional (no de larvas m-2) entre os dois grupos nas áreas cultivadas e não cultivadas. A densidade de outras espécies foi superior à densidade de espécies-praga, tanto nas áreas cultivadas (9,0 e 3,9 larvas m-2, respectivamente) quanto nas áreas não cultivadas (6,6 e 3,9 larvas m-2, respectivamente). Não há diferença na densidade populacional média de corós-praga entre áreas cultivadas e não cultivadas.


This study aimed to determine the relationship between the population density of pest and other species of white grubs (Coleoptera: Melolonthidae) occurring in cultivated and uncultivated fields in the planalto region, in northern Rio Grande do Sul. Sampling was carried through 23 municipalities, from July to September 2009 and 2010 in two areas, one cultivated and another noncultivated, In each area, trenches of 50x25x30cm were opened. Melolontid larvae collected were identified and gathered in two groups: "pest-species" and "other species". Populational density (no of larvae m-2) of the two groups were compared between cultivated and noncultivated areas. The "other species" density was higher than pest community in both cultivated (9,0 e 3,9 larvae m-2) and noncultivated areas (6,6 e 3,9 larvae m-2 respectively). There is no difference between means of pest species population density between cultivated and noncultivated areas.

ABSTRACT

Besouros pertencentes à superfamília Scarabaeoidea ocupam habitats variados, possuem hábitos alimentares diversificados, desempenham importante papel ecológico e diversas espécies apresentam importância agrícola. No entanto, estudos com esse grupo na região do Cerrado são escassos. Nesta revisão realizou-se um levantamento dos artigos publicados nos últimos 30 anos a respeito dos Scarabaeoidea no Cerrado. Foram recuperados 64 artigos, realizados em nove unidades da federação, que focavam quatro temas principais: espécies praga, aspectos bioecológicos, biodiversidade e importância ecológica, e técnicas e metodologias de coleta de Scarabaeoidea. Os resultados desta revisão indicam que poucos estudos foram realizados com os Scarabaeoidea no Cerrado brasileiro nas últimas décadas frente à importância e diversidade desse grupo de insetos.


Beetles belonging to the superfamily Scarabaeoidea occupy different habitats, present feeding habits diversified, play an important ecological role and several species have agricultural importance. However, studies with this group in the Brazilian Cerrado are scarce. In this review we carried out a survey of scientific articles published in the past 30 years concerning Scarabaeoidea in the Cerrado. Were found 64 studies in nine Brazilian states. The studies focused on four main topics: pest species, bioecology, biodiversity and ecological importance, techniques and methodologies for collecting Scarabaeoidea. The results of this review indicate that few studies have been conducted with Scarabaeoidea in the Cerrado in recent decades compared to the importance and diversity of this group of insects.

ABSTRACT

Esta nota tem por objetivo relatar o ataque de larvas do coró-das-pastagens, Diloboderus abderus Sturm, 1826 (Coleoptera: Melolonthidae), em mudas de eucalipto híbrido (Eucalyptus grandis x Eucalyptus urophylla), na fazenda Bazana, município de Manoel Viana, Rio Grande do Sul. Essa praga se alimentou da casca das plantas na região do coleto, provocando “anelamento” das mudas. A mortalidade de mudas foi de 30 por cento em 40ha. Este é o primeiro registro dos danos desse inseto em plantas de eucalipto no Brasil.


This article aims to report the attack of larvae Diloboderus abderus Sturm, 1826 (Coleoptera: Melolonthidae) on seedlings of Eucalyptus hybrid ( Eucalyptus grandis x Eucalyptus urophylla), on the farm Bazana, in Manoel Viana, state of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. This pest consumed the bark of the ground, which caused the 'girdling' of seedlings. The mortality rate was 30 percent, in 40ha. No previous report was found in the literature regarding the occurrence of damages of Diloboderus abderus on Eucalyptus; thus, this is the first record of the pest on Eucalyptus in Brazil.
