Abstract

Knowledge of the area of distribution of insects of agricultural interest is vital to evaluate their negative impact on agroecosystems focused on the production of crops of high commercial value. In this study, Cylindrocopturus biradiatus and C. ganglbaueri were reported for the first time in the municipalities of Toluca, Temascaltepec and San Felipe del Progreso, State of Mexico associated with Opuntia spp. Opuntia robusta, O. huajuapensis and O. microdasys are included as new hosts for C. biradiatus as well as C. ganglbaueri, expanding its distribution towards the Toluca Valley and the North of the State of Mexico. The incidence of damage attributed by Cylindrocopturus spp. towards the areolas of the nopal is documented in this study and is expected to contribute to the promotion of future studies that allow a more in-depth evaluation of the magnitude of its damage and the design of local strategies for integrated pest management.
