Inimigos Naturais e Competidores da Broca-do-Café Hypothenemus hampei (Ferrari) (Coleoptera: Scolytidae) na Colômbia RESUMO -O objetivo desta pesquisa foi levantar e registrar os inimigos naturais e competidores da broca-do-café, Hypothenemus hampei (Ferrari), na região cafeeira colombiana. Apesar da recente introdução da broca do café na Colômbia, foram registrados 25 inimigos naturais, incluindo o fungo Beauveria bassiana. Com exceção do fungo, os outros organismos são registros novos de inimigos naturais da broca-do-café, o que demonstra o pouco conhecimento existente sobre esses agentes de controle natural e sobre os competidores que podem contribuir para manter as populações da praga em equilíbrio. O grupo com maior número de inimigos naturais foi o dos predadores, seguido pelos competidores, fungos, bactérias e protozoários. Somente uma vespa parasitóide foi registrada atacando os adultos da broca-do-café. PALAVRAS-CHAVE: Beauveria bassiana, entomopatógeno, parasitóide, predadorABSTRACT -The objective of this research was to survey and record the natural enemies and competitors of the Coffee Berry Borer (CBB) Hypothenemus hampei (Ferrari) in the Colombian coffee region. Despite the recently introduction of CBB to Colombia, 25 natural enemies were recorded, including Beauveria bassiana. Except for this fungus, the other organisms are new records of natural enemies of CBB. This emphasizes the little knowledge about these natural control agents and competitors that can help to keep the CBB population under control. The predators were the group with higher number of natural enemies followed by the competitors, fungi, bacteria and protozoans. Only one parasitoid wasp was recorded attacking CBB adults.
