“…The average body length (from the head to the last abdominal segment) of the pupae was 12.11 ± 0.5 mm. García et al 2009), our observations suggest that such is not the case for C. paraguayensis. The fact that captive-reared larvae thrived and developed into wellformed, fertile adults on an entirely saprophagous diet might indicate that they are not rhizophagous in the wild.…”

“…As such, in most tropical ecosystems, the unambiguous identification of larvae is hampered and pest management plans cannot be safely implemented (Ramirez-Salinas et al 2004). Exceptions include C. lurida Bland (previously referred to as C. immaculata Olivier), C. longula (senior synonym of C. abrupta), C. borealis, and C. pasadenae (Ritcher 1966); C. signaticollis Burmeister (Morelli 1991;Mondino et al 1997); C. testacea Burmeister (Morelli and Auzugaray 1994); C. fulgurata Burmeister, C. lunulata Burmeister, and C. gregaria Heney & Thaschenberg (Bran et al 2006); C. forsteri Endrödi (Santos and Ávila 2007;Oliveira and Ávila 2011); C. comata (Bates) (García et al 2009); C. verticalis Burmeister (Rodrigues et al 2010;Coutinho et al 2011); and C. celata (Souza et al 2013).…”

Susceptibility of Phyllophaga polyphylla and Anomala cincta larvae to Beauveria bassiana and Metarhizium anisopliae isolates, and the interaction with soil properties

et al. 2011

The white grub species Phyllophaga polyphylla and Anomala cincta (Coleoptera: Melolonthidae) are economically important species that affect many crops in Mexico. A series of experiments to study the pathogenic interaction between isolates of Beauveria bassiana and Metarhizium anisopliae and these two insect species were undertaken. First, the susceptibility of third instar P. polyphylla larvae to each of seven isolates representing both species of fungus was evaluated by dipping the insects in 1 9 10 8 conidia ml -1 suspensions. A second study examined the differences in the susceptibility of P. polyphylla and A. cincta larvae to two selected isolates for each of the fungal species. Finally, the susceptibility of A. cincta larvae to one M. anisopliae isolate when incubated in soil collected from four different sites was assessed. No significant differences in proportion of infection of P. polyphylla larvae were observed amongst the fungal isolates tested and mortality due to fungal infection was never greater than 20% after 36 days incubation. Anomala cincta larvae were more susceptible than P. polyphylla larvae, with greater than 90% infection when inoculated with isolates of M. anisopliae whereas mortalities of only 20% where achieved against P. polyphylla larvae. The soil type in which A. cincta were incubated following inoculation with M. anisopliae affected their susceptibility to infection. The results demonstrated that there is a complex interaction amongst entomopathogenic fungi, white grub larvae and soil properties, and points to the need of further investigation of this system in order to optimize the efficacy of entomopathogenic fungi against these insect species.

“…Occasionally, adults have been reported as injurious to orchards, chewing fruits of soft skin, as guava (Psidium guajava; Myrthaceae) . Larvae live in the soil apparently feeding on humus, decomposed roots and stems, or eating live roots of cultivate grains or wild grasses and other herbs (Alzugaray et al 1998;Lugo-García et al 2009Aragón-García et al 2012).…”

ABSTRACT. Description of the third instar larvae of five species of Cyclocephala (Coleoptera, Melolonthidae, Dynastinae) from Mexico. Larvae of four species of Cyclocephala are described for the first time based on specimens collected in Mexican localities: C. barrerai Martínez, 1969 from Puebla, C. sinaloae Howden & Endrödi, 1966 from Sinaloa, C. fasciolata Bates, 1888 from Veracruz, and C. jalapensis Casey, 1915 from Hidalgo. Larva of C. lunulata Burmeister, 1847, is redescribed based on specimens from the Mexican states of Morelos, Puebla, and Veracruz. Diagnostic structures are illustrated and the differences and similarities of each species with other previously described larvae of the genus are commented.
