“…Approximately two days later the oviposition site became reddish with a gall visible a few days later 11 . Plant phenology and colonization periods on C. brasiliense leaves explains the decrease of Eurytoma gall abundance as the numbers of other galling insects increased throughout the year as well as the differential temporal distribution of galling insects 23 . Chemical or visual markers may indicate which galling insect dominates a particular ecological niche (i.e., part of a leaf, branch or even a tree) 21 .…”

“…Ants, Epipolops sp., Holopothrips sp., Sycophila sp., spiders, and Z. armillatus can be important to control Eurytoma sp. on C. brasiliense trees 11 , 23 , 26 , 37 , 38 . The higher numbers of the predator Z. armillatus on C. brasiliense trees at the University Campus might be due to more leaves galled by Eurytoma sp.…”

Galling insects are a highly sophisticated herbivore group on Caryocar brasiliense, a tree that represents the main income source for many communities. The effect of architectural diversity of C. brasiliense trees on galling insect community diversity and abundance was studied. The abundance of adult insects and galled leaves were seven and 1.6 times higher in trees with a greater height/width of canopy (RHW) ratio, respectively. Gall parasitoid richness was 1.8 times greater on trees with higher RHW. Zelus armillatus (Lepeletier & Serville) (Hemiptera: Reduviidae) and ant numbers were 5.8 and 2.7 higher on trees with the largest and smallest RHW, respectively. More complex plant architectures favored species diversity for galling insects and their natural enemies. The competition among four galling insect species for space and feeding and the evidence of “prudence strategy” were, for the first time, observed for galling insects in the Brazilian Cerrado biome.

“…; Parawixia sp. and sp.1 (Araneidae); and Anyphaenidae are important generalist predators (see Leite et al 2013). The ants Crematogaster sp., Pseudomyrmex termitarius Smith, 1855, and Camponotus novograndensis Mayr, 1870 (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) and the predatory thrips Holopothrips sp., Trybonia intermedius Bagnall, 1910 andTrybonia mendesi Moulton, 1933 (Thysanoptera: Phlaeothripidae) can reduce defoliation by lepidopteran leaf miners and/or sucking insects (Leite et al 2012a(Leite et al , 2012b(Leite et al , 2012c, and this factor may favor the colonization of the leaves on C. brasiliense by galling insects (free space).…”

Caryocar brasiliense (Malpighiales: Caryocaraceae) trees, protected by Brazilian federal laws, are the main income source in many communities. The transformation of the Cerrado (savanna biome) into grazing or agricultural areas has been isolating these trees species in an agro-urban landscape. We studied the effects of environmental diversity on the abundance of galling insect communities inhabiting C. brasiliense trees in three different environments: Cerrado, pasture, and an urban area. Eurytoma sp. (Hymenoptera: Eurytomidae) adults and their galls, its parasitoid Sycophila sp. (Hymenoptera: Eurytomidae) and the predator Zelus armillatus (Hemiptera: Reduviidae) were present in larger numbers on the C. brasiliense leaflets in the urban area. The percentages of totally galled leaflets (exhibiting all kinds of galls) and the number of trees were negatively correlated. Greater habitat diversity favored that of galling insect species and their natural enemies.

Algumas espécies arbóreas do Cerrado apresentam interesse comercial de sua madeira, frutos, sementes, fibras, resinas e óleos essenciais, entre outras partes (ALMEIDA et al, 1998), como o jatobá (Hymenea courbaril L.) e a copaíba (Copaifera langsdorffii Desf.)…”

RESUMO -Besouros do gênero Rhinochenus sp. (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) danificam sementes de espécies da flora do Cerrado brasileiro como o jatobá (Hymenea courbaril L.) e a copaíba (Copaifera langsdorffii Desf.). Este trabalho teve como objetivo avaliar a morfometria de pupas e adultos de R. stigma, bem como aspectos comportamentais, como a emissão de sons, para auxiliar a sexagem desta espécie. Os insetos foram obtidos de frutos de jatobá coletados no Município de São Gonçalo do Rio Preto, em Minas Gerais, Brasil. As características morfométricas de pupas e adultos não apresentaram diferenças pelo teste t, não sendo seguras para a diferenciação dos sexos. Para adultos de R. stigma, a sexagem só foi possível após a morte, pela dissecação dos órgãos genitais.Palavras-chave: Cerrado; Praga florestal; Sexagem.
