Abstract: -A preliminary study on the ocurrence of Spathiella coccinea Boh. (Coleoptera) on Theobroma grandiflorum (cupuassu), native Amazonian fruit plant, are reported. S. coccinea is known to feed on leaves of many species of palm, and has been found in Elaeis guineensis (Palmaceae) leaves. From September 1994 to February 1996 observations were made on the behavior and hand collected. The highest number of insects was found in the rainy season February 1995.

“…One hemisphaerotine, Spaethiella tristis (Boheman), feeds on the palms Cocos nucifera Linneaeus (coconut) and Elaeis guineensis Jacq. (oil palm) (Arecaceae), as well as on cocoa, Theobroma grandiflorum (Wildenow ex Sprengel) Schumann (Sterculiaceae) (Garcia et al, 1996;Borowiec, 1999;Barbosa et al, 1999;Chaboo and Nguyen, 2004). The variations in taxonomy, leaf morphology, and chemistry of these alternate hosts, and their implications for mouth morphology and nutrition warrant further study.…”

“…Stem mining and leaf chewing (Chen, 1928(Chen, , 1929 can significantly damage bamboo forests in Asia. Leaf mining, scraping, or chewing offers an indirect route for fungal infections, thus further threatening a plant (Barbosa et al, 1999); for example, fungal infection via leaf scraping by Spaethiella Barber and Bridwell (Garcia et al, 1996).…”

“…Como são poucos os registros ou notificações de insetos visitantes ou pragas de T. grandiflorum (Silva, 1976;Trevisan & Mendes, 1991;Venturieri, 1993, Barbosa, 19941999), as informações sobre a entomofauna de cupuaçu obtidas durante este trabalho, mostraram que as famílias de coleópteros encontradas, são comuns a outras plantas, sejam fruteiras ou não, e dentre os insetos que se alimentam de plantas diversas como o cacaueiro, os coleópteros destacam-se como pragas importantes pela abundância e constância que ocorrem (Bondar, 1939;Abreu, 1972;Costa, 1977;Mendes & Garcia, 1982a;Benton, 1984). Conforme resultado encontrado para Theobroma grandiflorum, pelo menos sete gêneros de Chrysomelidae e quatro gêneros de Curculionidae foram observados danificando partes essenciais da planta, tais como folhas, flores e brotos.…”
