RAMIREZ-SERRANO, Alfredo; ROMERO GOMEZ, Guillermo e ROMERO NAPOLES, Jesús. Bruchids (Coleoptera: Bruchidae) associated to the legume Indigofera densiflora. Acta Zool. Mex [online]. 2013, vol.29, n.2, pp.346-362. ISSN 2448-8445.
Four species of Bruchidae (Coleoptera) in three genera were reared from Indigofera densiflora M. Martens & Galeotti seeds: Acanthoscelides kingsolveri Johnson, A. ruficoxis (Sharp), Margaritabruchus cherylae Romero & Johnson, and Meibomeus campbelli Kingsolver & Whitehead. To determine the impact of these bruchid species on the plants, seed collections were made to evaluate the damage done. Due to the comparative size of the adult beetle, only one specimen per seed developed destroying the seed. Of a total of 17,816 seeds collected, 800 or 4.5% with infestation.
