PAVA, Nataly de la; GARCIA, Mayra A.; BROCHERO, Carlos E.  e  SEPULVEDA-CANO, Paula A.. Records of Dryophthorinae (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) on Colombian Caribbean Coast. Acta biol.Colomb. [online]. 2020, vol.25, n.1, pp.96-103. ISSN 0120-548X.  https://doi.org/10.15446/abc.v25n1.77797.

Dryophthorinae is a relatively small weevil subfamily associated mainly with monocots. There are species in Colombia considered pests in the palm and Musaceae crops. In this document, a list of the species of Dryophthoridae for the departments of the Colombian Caribbean coast is presented, based on data from entomological collections and literature review. For the region, 11 species were recorded: Cosmopolites sordidus, Dynamis borassi, Mesocordylus striatus, Metamasius hemipterus, M. hebetatus, Polytus mellerborgii, Rhynchophorus palmarum, Rhodobaenus sp., Rhinostomus barbirostris, Sitophilus zeamais and S. oryzae, some of which are registered for the first time for the area. The importance of systematically sampling this group, and studies leading to improve knowledge about their distribution and biology, as well as its impact on agricultural production and their potential as pests in the country, are discussed.
