Abstract

This study contributes to knowledge of the biodiversity of curculionids associated with Larrea tridentata (Sessé & Moc. Ex DC) at Miquihuana, Tamaulipas. The plant is almost intrinsic to the landscape of xerophilous shrubland of northern Mexico. Using a beat-sheet, a total of 89 adults was collected; seven species in the Entiminae subfamily were identified. Ophryastes sordidus LeConte, O. huachucae (Van Dyke), Pantomorus albosignatus (Boheman), Sapotes setosus Jones and O´Brien, S. puncticollis Casey, and Isodacrys fasciatum Cortés-Hernández were first recorded at Tamaulipas. The most abundant species (84%) was P. albosignatus (Boheman) that is endemic to and widely distributed in Mexico.
