Abstract
Common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) is the most important legume used for direct human consumption in Latin America, with an increasing expansion of cultivated areas in recent years. Here, we report the first occurrence of Conotrachelus quadrilineatus Champion, 1904 (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Molytinae) feeding on bean in South America. Larvae and adults of C. quadrilineatus were observed during the first half of 2022, severely affecting the plantations of 20 bean farmers in the municipality of Garcia-Rovira, Santander Colombia. It is necessary to describe and quantify the damage of C. quadrilineatus in bean crops, as well as to study its bioecology.
