Abstract
Resumen. El Picudo del camote, Cylas formicarius (Fabricius) (Coleoptera: Brentidae), es una de las principales plagas del camote (Ipomoea batatas (L. Lam.; Solanales: Convolvulaceae)) a nivel mundial. En México no hay reportes de la presencia de esta plaga asociada a este cultivo. En 2022 una población abundante fue observada alimentándose de tubérculos de camote en Nayarit, México. Este es el primer reporte de C. formicarius dañando un cultivo en México. Abstract. The sweet potato weevil, Cylas formicarius (Fabricius) (Coleoptera: Brentidae), is one of the main pests of sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas (L. Lam.: Solanales: Convolvulaceae)) worldwide. There are no reports of this pest damaging crops in Mexico. In 2022 an abundant population of this insect was observed feeding on sweet potato tubers in Nayarit. This is the first report of C. formicarius damaging a crop in Mexico.
期刊介绍:
Manuscripts submitted for consideration for publication in the Southwestern Entomologist should report results of entomological research in the southwestern United States or Mexico or should report results of studies on entomological species, relevant to this region, which may be done elsewhere, provided such results are geographically applicable. Manuscripts that report results of routine laboratory or field experiments for which the primary purpose is gathering baseline data or those that report results of a continuous evaluation program such as preliminary pesticide evaluation experiments, species lists with no supporting biological data, or preliminary plant resistance evaluations are not acceptable. However, reports of experiments with insecticides, acaricides, and microbials are acceptable if they are comprehensive and include data related to economics, resistance, toxicology, or other broad subject areas. Bibliographies will not be published in Southwestern Entomologist.
