Abstract

Larvas de Migdolus fryanus Westwood (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) foram encontradas danificando raízes de mudas de P. caribaea var. hondurensis (Sénéel) Barr. & Golf. no Estado de São Paulo. Isso aumenta a importância dessa espécie, cujos danos, em espécies florestais, têm aumentado, principalmente, em plantios de eucalipto. Esse é o primeiro registro de M. fryanus em plantios de Pinus, e o referido inseto pode ser considerado uma nova praga dessa espécie florestal. Detalhes das características morfológicas e biológicas, danos e possíveis métodos de controle de M. fryanus são discutidos. ; Larvae of Migdolus fryanus Westwood (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) were found damaging roots of young plants of P. caribaea hondurensis (Sénéel) Barr. & Golf. in the State of São Paulo, Brazil. This fact increases the importance of this species because the damages have been increasing in forest species specially in eucalyptus plantations. This is the first record of M. fryanus in pine plantations and this insect can be considered a pest of pine plants. Details on the morphology and biological characteristics, damage and possible control methods to M. fryanus are discussed.
