| Phymastichus coffea LaSalle is an African endoparasitoid of adults of the coffee berry borer, Hypothenemus hampei (Ferrari) that was introduced into Mexico for biological control purposes. The objective of this study was to investigate the oviposition behavior of P. coffea on its host under laboratory conditions. The results indicate that P. coffea females exhibited 12 behavioral acts during and after oviposition, such as, walking, cleaning, flying, surface landing, resting, host landing, host antennation, touching the host with forelegs, host recognition, walking on the host, oviposition and cleaning after oviposition. The sequence of each behavior is described in an ethogram. |

| Triatoma dimidiata (Latreille) is considered to be one of the primary vectors of Chagas disease in Southern Mexico and Central America. The objective of the present study was to obtain ecological information on T. dimidiata in two rural communities of Campeche, Mexico, where the vector is poorly studied. Our work consisted of monthly samplings carried out during one-year time at three levels: sylvatic, peridomestic and intradomestic, in order to estimate the population abundance of this species and its rate of infection with Trypanosoma cruzi. Triatoma dimidiata was the unique vector of this disease collected in San Juan Bautista Sakcabchen (SJBS) and Crucero San Luis (CSL). The total of 145 individuals were captured in SJBS; from these, 26.9%, 20% and... |

| La broca del café, Hypothenemus hampei (Ferrari) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), es la plaga mas importante del cultivo de café en el mundo. Beauveria bassiana es un hongo entomopatógeno generalista ampliamente utilizado por los productores de café para controlar a H. hampei. Phymastichus coffea LaSalle es un endoparasitoide africano de adultos de la broca, recién importado a varios países de Latinoamérica y del Caribe para el control de esta plaga. En el presente estudio se realizaron bioensayos de laboratorio con el objetivo de determinar si B. bassiana es detrimental para el parasitoide P. coffea. La susceptibilidad del parasitoide fue evaluada en términos de supervivencia de adultos, concentración letal media (CL50), tiempo letal medio (TL50),... |
