Description of immatures and mating behavior of Liogenys bidenticeps Moser, 1919 (Coleoptera: Melolonthidae: Melolonthinae)

Aspects of mating behavior and antennal sensilla in Anomala inconstans Burmeister, 1844 (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Rutelinae)

“…Phytophagous scarab beetles (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae) in Neotropical region usually swarm during the hot and humid period of the year, when they can be observed feeding on leaves, flowers and fruit of several plant species (Oliveira & Ávila 2011, Gottsberger et al 2012, Martínez et al 2013, Moore & Jameson 2013, Ferreira et al 2016. The different plant species used for feeding are important breeding sites for Scarabaeidae (Morón 1996, Maia & Schlindwein 2006, Rodrigues et al 2017.…”

Identification and description of the antennal sensilla of Liogenys suturalis (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae)

“…Copulation behavior studies in Liogenys suturalis (Ferreira et al, 2018), L. fusca (Rodrigues et al, 2017), and L. bidenticeps (Rodrigues et al, 2017) demonstrated that females could select males for copulation probably using chemical recognition.…”

“…Adults use leaves or flowers for their nutrition during the swarm. Adults of L. fusca were observed feeding on leaves and flowers of plants of the family Anacardiaceae, such as Anacardium occidentale L., Astronium fraxinifolium Schott, Myracrodruon urundeuva Allem., and Schinus terebinthifolius Raddi (Rodrigues et al, 2017). Adults of L. suturalis feed on leaves of Schinus terebinthifolius (Ferreira et al, 2018) and those of L. bidenticeps feed on leaves of Schinus terebinthifolius and flowers of Anacardium occidentale (Rodrigues et al, 2017).…”

“…Studies have shown that adults of Scarabaeidae use different plant species as sources of food and they use this sites for mating (e.g., Maia and Schlindwein, 2006;Maia et al, 2013;Martínez et al, 2013;Rodrigues et al, 2014bRodrigues et al, , 2017. The adult aggregation is intermediated by the detection of valatines by the antennae of these insects (Leal, 1995(Leal, , 1998.…”

Morphological description of the third instar larva of Lasiotrichius succinctus hananoi (Sawada) (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Cetoniinae: Trichiini), using scanning electron microscopy

“…Most of the scarab larvae that inhabiting underground or in the decaying wood are usually devoid of visual organ (Ritcher, 1966;Zhang, 1984), which is a similarity shared by Lucanidae, Aphodiinae, Melolonthinae, Rutelinae, Dynastinae, and some Cetoniinae (Fuhrmann, 2013;Li et al, 2019;Micó & Galante, 2003a;Qu et al, 2019;Rodrigues, Fuhrmann, Gomes, & Amaro, 2017). However, stemmata are abnormally present in L. succinctus hananoi, similar to the species in some other cetoniine genera, including Coelocorynus, Inca, Clastocnemis, Gnorimus, Marmylida, Diplognahta, Dicronocephalus, Hypselogenia, Neoscelis, Amithao, Gymnetis, Anochilia (Jerath & Unny, 1965;Morón & Arce, 2002;Nogueira, Morón, Fierros-López, & Navarrete-Heredia, 2004;Oberholzer, 1959;Randriamanantsoa, Aberlenc, Ralisoa, Ratnadass, & Vercambre, 2010;Shabalin & Bezborodov, 2009;Šípek et al, 2008;Šípek et al, 2009;Sousa et al, 2018).…”
