          Abstract

          Se presenta una lista comentada de las especies de escarabajos fitófagos presentes en los departamentos de Cundinamarca, Boyacá y Santander, ubicados en la Cordillera Oriental colombiana. Se encontraron 150 especies pertenecientes a 56 géneros. Para la mayoría de las especies se presentan notas sobre su distribución, biología, algunos comentarios taxonómicos y fotografías. Las especies Cyclocephala longa y Pelidnota xanthopyga se registran por primera vez para Colombia, mientras que P. paralella, P. polita, P. prasina y Stenocrates bicarinatus son registros nuevos para los Andes orientales colombianos.

          Translated abstract

          A commented list of phytophagous beetles present in the Departments of Cundinamarca, Boyacá, and Santander, located in the Colombian Eastern Cordillera is presented. One hundred-fifty (150) species belonging to 56 genera were found. Notes about their distribution, biology, some taxonomic comments, and photographs are included for most species. Cyclocephala longa and Pelidnota xanthopyga are recorded for the first time in Colombia, whereas P. paralella, P. polita, P. prasina and Stenocrates bicarinatus are new records for Colombian Eastern Andes.

              Floral Associations of Cyclocephaline Scarab Beetles

              The scarab beetle tribe Cyclocephalini (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Dynastinae) is the second largest tribe of rhinoceros beetles, with nearly 500 described species. This diverse group is most closely associated with early diverging angiosperm groups (the family Nymphaeaceae, magnoliid clade, and monocots), where they feed, mate, and receive the benefit of thermal rewards from the host plant. Cyclocephaline floral association data have never been synthesized, and a comprehensive review of this ecological interaction was necessary to promote research by updating nomenclature, identifying inconsistencies in the data, and reporting previously unpublished data. Based on the most specific data, at least 97 cyclocephaline beetle species have been reported from the flowers of 58 plant genera representing 17 families and 15 orders. Thirteen new cyclocephaline floral associations are reported herein. Six cyclocephaline and 25 plant synonyms were reported in the literature and on beetle voucher specimen labels, and these were updated to reflect current nomenclature. The valid names of three unavailable plant host names were identified. We review the cyclocephaline floral associations with respect to inferred relationships of angiosperm orders. Ten genera of cyclocephaline beetles have been recorded from flowers of early diverging angiosperm groups. In contrast, only one genus, Cyclocephala, has been recorded from dicot flowers. Cyclocephaline visitation of dicot flowers is limited to the New World, and it is unknown whether this is evolutionary meaningful or the result of sampling bias and incomplete data. The most important areas for future research include: 1) elucidating the factors that attract cyclocephalines to flowers including floral scent chemistry and thermogenesis, 2) determining whether cyclocephaline dicot visitation is truly limited to the New World, and 3) inferring evolutionary relationships within the Cyclocephalini to rigorously test vicarance hypotheses, host plant shifts, and mutualisms with angiosperms.
