Oviposition behavior of Bruchidae (Coleoptera) seed predators of Cassia leptophylla Vogel (Caesalpinaceae), egg rnorphology and description of a new species

Authorship SCIMAGO INSTITUTIONS RANKINGS

Sennius leptophyllicola sp. nov. is described from Paraná, Brazil and reported to feed in seeds of Cassia leptophylla Vogel with Pygiopachymerus lineola (Chevrolat, 1871). Both species attach their eggs to the outside of the fruit valves of the host. Their oviposition behavior places them in oviposition guild A of JOHNSON (1981). Eggs were described based upon scanning electron micrographs.
