          Abstract

          Resumen Desde el 2009 se ha evidenciado en las plantaciones de cacao del valle de Zarumilla (Tumbes, Perú), la presencia de un insecto plaga de especie aún no identificada, cuyas larvas perforan los tallos y frutos del cacao, y afectan su valor comercial por la invasión de microorganismos patógenos secundarios. Este trabajo de investigación que se realizó de marzo a agosto del 2014 tuvo como objetivos identificar y describir morfológicamente al barrenador del fruto y tallo del cacao, no reportado para las condiciones de este valle. Las recolectas se realizaron en campos cacaoteros del valle de Zarumilla y la crianza de los estados inmaduros, en el laboratorio de Entomología de la Universidad Nacional de Tumbes. Los resultados permitieron determinar que la especie cuya larva perfora los tallos y frutos del cacao es Carmenta theobromae. Se describen las principales características morfológicas de esta especie, referente a los estados de huevo, larva, pupa y adulto de ambos sexos. Además, del material biológico recolectado en campo durante el muestreo, se identificaron dos parasitoides a nivel de familia, un díptero Tachinidae recuperado de larvas y un himenóptero Chalcididae a partir de pupas. Se concluye que la especie que barrena los frutos de cacao en las plantaciones del valle de Zarumilla es C. theobromae. El presente estudio servirá de base para realizar futuras investigaciones de la biología y comportamiento en relación con los factores ambientales y determinar si esta especie tiene preferencia por determinados clones de cacao sembrados en la zona.

          Abstract Since 2009, the presence of a pest insect of an unidentified species whose larvae pierce the stems and fruits of the cocoa plant, affecting the commercial value of the fruits by the invasion of secondary pathogenic microorganisms, has been demonstrated in the cocoa plantations of the Zarumilla valley, (Tumbes, Peru). This research work was carried out from March to August 2014 in order to identify and morphologically characterize the borer of the fruit and stem of the cocoa plant not reported for the conditions of this valley. The collections were made in cocoa fields of the Zarumilla valley and the breeding of immature states was carried out in the Entomology laboratory of the National University of Tumbes. The results made it possible to determine that the species whose larva pierces the cacao stems and fruits is Carmenta theobromae. The main morphological characteristics of this species are described, referring to the egg, larva, pupa and adult stages of both sexes. In addition, from the biological material collected in the field during the sampling, it was possible to identify two parasitoids at the family level, a dipteran Tachinidae recovered from larvae and a hymenopteran Chalcididae recovered from pupae. It is concluded that the species that burrows cocoa fruits in cocoa plantations in the Zarumilla Valley is C. theobromae. The present study will serve as the basis for biology and behavioral studies of in relation to environmental factors and to determine if this species has a preference for certain cocoa clones planted in the valley.
