Abstract:The genus Leucothyreus has been linked to some commercial plant crop pests. Eventhough several species have been described for this genus, information about this group is still scarce. This study investigated some biological aspects and mating behavior in Leucothyreus albopilosus. Studies were conducted at the State University of Mato Grosso do Sul, in the municipalities of Aquidauana and Cassilândia, MS, Brazil. For biological studies, adults were collected with light traps from February 2011 to February 2012, and for behavior analyses from September to December 2014. Biological studies were undertaken every three days and included the eggs inspection, and the separation of the newly hatched larvae to observe and describe their developmental stages; to monitor larval growth and differentiate larval instars, we measured the larvae cephalic capsule. Life cycle was determined starting from the newly laid eggs until adult death. For mating behavior studies, adults obtained with light traps were taken to the laboratory. As soon as they started flying in the evening, couples were formed and copulation steps were recorded. in the field, we observed that adults were mostly collected during warmer and wetter periods (from August to March). Our results showed that the embryonic period of L. albopilosus lasted 20.5 days, the 1 st , 2 nd and 3 rd instars lasted 31.0, 33.1 and 85.6 days, respectively. The pupal stage lasted 20 days, and the egg to adult period was completed in 185.5 days; these results suggest that L. albopilosus can be characterized as a univoltine species. Observations of mating behavior in the laboratory showed that, after the sunset, adults projected a small portion of clypeus near the soil surface and flew off seeking a female to mate. The female could accept or reject the male for mating. When the female accepted the male, copulation occurred from 19:00 to 23:00 hours, and lasted 19.45 minutes on average. Sometimes females refused to mate, probably because the male or female were not sexually mature to perform copulation, and there might be a chemical communication between the adults. Adults were observed feeding on ripe bananas (Musa sp., Musaceae) and on mangaba flowers (Hancornia speciosa, Apocynaceae) in the laboratory. With this work we contributed with the description of mating behavior in the genus Leucothyreus and concluded that the biological cycle was completed in less than 200 days. Rev. Biol.

“…This species showed a similar occurrence with other species Leucothyreus in this region. Puker et al (2011) recorded the occurrence of L. albopilosus in January, in the municipality of Mundo Novo, Mato Grosso do Sul. Adults of L. dorsalis were observed from September to December and from January to March (Rodrigues et al, 2010).…”

RESUMO Besouros pertencentes à superfamília Scarabaeoidea ocupam habitats variados, possuem hábitos alimentares diversifi cados, desempenham importante papel ecológico e diversas espécies apresentam importância agrícola. No entanto, estudos com esse grupo na região do Cerrado são escassos. Nesta revisão realizou-se um levantamento dos artigos publicados nos últimos 30 anos a respeito dos INTRODUÇÃONão existe consenso quanto à divisão de famílias e subfamílias dentro dos Scarabaeoidea e o número relativo a esses táxons varia de acordo com o sistema de classifi cação adotado. Adotou-se nesta revisão a divisão proposta por MORÓN (2010) que inclui 12 famílias (Cetoniidae, Geotrupidae, Glaphyridae, Glaresidae, Hybosoridae, Lucanidae, Melolonthidae, Ochodaeidae, Passalidae, Pleocomidae, Scarabaeidae e Trogidae).Os Scarabaeoidea são cosmopolitas, ocupando quase todos os ambientes do planeta. Desempenham diversas funções ecológicas nos ecossistemas provendo serviços variados e auxiliando na manutenção desses ambientes (NICHOLS et al., 2008). Alguns Scarabaeoidea são considerados pragas de diversas espécies de plantas cultivadas, especialmente em sua fase larval, podendo atingir elevada importância econômica devido às perdas que podem proporcionar (ARAGÓN et al., 2001).O Cerrado, apesar de conter cerca de 30% da biodiversidade brasileira (DIAS, 1992), encontrase na lista dos biomas de alta biodiversidade mais ameaçados do mundo (MITTERMEIER et al., 2005). O conhecimento a cerca dos organismos que compõem o Cerrado e suas inter-relações torna-se essencial para as políticas de conservação e de destinação do uso da terra. Os Scarabaeoidea formam um elo importante -REVISÃO BIBLIOGRÁFICA -
