This work aimed to report the occurrence of this potential in Minas Gerais and study its their spatial and temporal distribution dynamics on crops of Coffea arabica. The study was conducted in coffee plants in Ponte Nova and Jaboticatubas, with the evaluation of density being monthly. N. curtus was found in two areas in Minas Gerais, presenting higher densities at the edges of the crops.
