Abstract
SANCHEZ-SOTO, Saúl. Record of damage by Aulacoscelis melanocera (Coleoptera: Orsodacnidae) on Cycas revoluta (Cycadaceae) in Campeche, Mexico. Rev. Colomb. Entomol. [online]. 2020, vol.46, n.2, e7111. Epub Dec 31, 2020. ISSN 0120-0488. https://doi.org/10.25100/socolen.v46i2.7111.
On May 7, 2018, in the garden of an archaeological site in northern Campeche, Mexico, a Cycas revoluta plant was observed with approximately 40 % of the foliage damaged by a swarm of Aulacoscelis melanocera (Coleoptera: Orsodacnidae). The present work constitutes the first report of this species causing severe damage in C. revoluta and the first record of this insect for the state of Campeche.
