BIOLOGÍA Y DESCRIPCIÓN DE LOS ESTADIOS NINFALES DE CHOLULA MACULATUS DISTANT (HEMIPTERA: HETEROPTERA: LYGAEOIDEA: RHYPAROCHROMIDAE: MYODOCHINI)

The life cycle of Cholula maculatus associated with several species of Ficus is reported in detail, descriptions and illustrations of all instars are included. This species is considered as an arboreal species according to the Slater (1972) classification for the species of Lygaeidae associated with Ficus spp. and because it feeds on Ficus seeds that are included in mammal and bird excrements, C. maculatus should be included in a new subcategory.El ciclo de vida de Cholula maculatus, asociada a diversas especies de Ficus se reporta en detalle, incluyendo descripción e ilustración de todos los estadios. Esta especie es considerada como arbórea dentro de la clasificación de Slater (1972) para las especies de Lygaeidae asociadas a Ficus spp. y dado que se alimenta de semillas de Ficus incluidas en excremento de mamíferos y aves, C. maculatus debería ser catalogada dentro de una nueva subcategoría

Descripción de los estadios ninfales de Froeschneria piligera (Stål) (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Lygaeoidea: Rhyparochromidae: Myodochini), su distribución en México y notas sobre su biología.

Descriptions and illustrations of all instars about Froeschneria piligera (Stål), and notes on its biology, it has been found feeing on the seeds of several plants, mainly species of Asteraceae, it is also considered a facultative terrestrial species, because it feeds on some species of Ficus. It was reared in the laboratory using sunflower seeds.Se describen e ilustran en detalle todos los estadios de Froeschneria piligera (Stål), incluyendo notas sobre su biología, se le ha encontrado alimentándose de las semillas de varias especies vegetales, principalmente de especies de Asteraceae, y es una especie terrestre facultativa, alimentándose de las semillas de algunas especies de Ficus. Se crió en laboratorio utilizando semillas de girasol

CICLO DE VIDA Y CONDUCTA DE ADULTOS DE CINCO ESPECIES DE PHYLLOPHAGA HARRIS, 1827 (COLEOPTERA: MELOLONTHIDAE; MELOLONTHINAE)

The life cycles of Phyllophaga ravida (Blanchard), P. macrocera Bates, P. vetula (Horn), P. ilhuicaminai Morón, and P. obsoleta (Blanchard) under laboratory conditions are described. The eggs were obtained from mated adults collected in various localities in the state of Puebla, Mexico. Larvae were placed in a breeding chamber with 26 ± 2 oC temperature and 70 ± 5 % humidity, in pots containing soil and slices of carrot roots. The life cycle for the five species is annual. Life table and adults flying times for each species are presented.Se describe el ciclo de vida de Phyllophaga ravida (Blanchard), P. macrocera Bates, P. vetula (Horn), P. ilhuicaminai Morón, y P. obsoleta (Blanchard), en condiciones de laboratorio, a partir de adultos en cópula obtenidos en localidades del estado de Puebla, México. Las larvas se mantuvieron en un cuarto de cría a temperatura de 26 ± 2 oC y humedad relativa de 70 ± 5%, dentro de recipientes con suelo y se alimentaron con rodajas de zanahoria. El ciclo de vida para las cinco especies es anual; para cada una se presenta la tabla de vida y el horario de vuelo de sus adultos

Life Histories of the Seed Bugs, Kleidocerys punctatus and Kleidocerys virescens

The life cycles of the seed bugs, Kleidocerys punctatus Distant and Kleidocerys virescens F. (Hemiptera: Lygaeidae: Ischnorhynchinae), are reported for the first time. Description of all immature stages and adults are included. Adults and nymphs of K. punctatus are associated with several species of Alnus (Betulaceae), while those of K. virescens are associated with Nicotiana glauca Graham, Nicotiana tabacum L. (Solanaceae), and Buddleia crotonoides A. Gray and Buddleia sp. (Loganiaceae). Adults and nymphs feed mainly on the seeds, inside the dry fruit, but they also take plant juices from other reproductive and vegetative structures. Illustrations of the eggs, all nymphal instars, and the adults, as well as notes on their biology and their distribution in Mexico, are included
