“…Our findings corroborate other studies on Chrysomelidae in the same area (Flinte et al 2009, 2010, 2011), where species reproduce during the hot rainy months and practically disappear when temperatures and rainfall drop, probably undergoing diapause as adults. Although taking place in a tropical latitude, the study was conducted at ca.…”

“…Nogueira-de-Sá et al 2004, Flinte et al 2009, 2010, 2011) showed that tropical species on mountains exhibit population fluctuations similar to species in subtropical areas, i.e. these beetles did not occur throughout the year as their tropical lowland neighbors, but rather had a restricted occurrence and disappeared during a period of the year.…”

The population phenology of the cassidines, Coptocycla arcuata and Omaspides trichroa, and the chrysomeline, Platyphora axillaris, was studied at Serra dos Órgãos National Park, State of Rio de Janeiro, southeast Brazil. Monthly surveys of larvae and adults were conducted between 2008 and 2011 at approximately 1000 m altitude on their respective host plants, Cordia polycephala (Boraginaceae), Ipomoea philomega (Convolvulaceae) and Solanum scuticum (Solanaceae). This is the first observation of larviparity and host record for Platyphora axillaris. Although having different life history traits, all species showed similar phenologies. They were abundant from October to March, months of high temperatures and intense rainfall, with two distinct reproductive peaks in the same season. Abundance dropped abruptly during the coldest and driest months, from May to August. Frequently none of these species were recorded during June and July. This phenological pattern is similar to other Chrysomelidae living in subtropical areas of Brazil. Temperature and rainfall appear to be the major factors influencing the fluctuation of these three species.

“…Those species for which we know their biology are associated with one plant family, the Solanaceae (summarized in Borowiec and Świętojańska 2012). Host plants are presently known based on direct feeding observations only for 16 of 84 species and were mostly recorded recently (Windsor et al 1992, Flinte et al 2008, 2010. Additionally we have data for another 10 species which are also exclusively associated with Solanaceae (Windsor and Sekerka, unpublished data).…”

“…The genus was never revised and its taxonomy is partly complicated as some species groups exhibit great variability in pattern (i.e. Flinte et al 2010). However, Spaeth (1937) proposed a key to the species groups dividing the genus into two subgenera, Parametriona Spaeth, 1937 and Plagiometriona, on the basis of the shapes of the humeral angles and the pronotum.…”

“…As in the A. languida [36] species O. pallidipennis did not retain the exuvial-fecal shield at pupation. However, there are Cassidinae species that keep the exuvial-fecal attachment [67] or only the exuviae [68].…”

The biology and the feeding habits of the subsocial speciesOmaspides pallidipenniswere studied at the Floresta Nacional de Passa Quatro, MG, Brazil, during the period from October 2010 to April 2011. The species was bivoltine, beginning its reproductive and food cycle in October (spring) and seeking its diapause sites in April (autumn). The juveniles took 54.4 days on average to complete their development, a period in which the female remained close to offspring, only feeding during the larval stage of the juveniles. It is a monophagous species, feeding only onIpomoea albaLinnaeus (Convolvulaceae). In the first cycle, the average number of eggs was55.7±15.5eggs per egg cluster (n=1,837 eggs in 33 clusters) and in the second it was61.6±14.2eggs per egg cluster (n=5,607 eggs in 91 clusters). Oviposition peaks were observed in the months of November and February. The average durations of the incubation period and the larval and the pupal development in the first cycle were19.2±1.4;26.0±1.5;8.7±0.8days, respectively. In the second cycle they wrere16.7±1.4;27.0±2.4;10.2±1.5days, respectively.
