Abstract

The occurrence of Hybolabus amazonicus Voss and Hybolabus columbinus (Erickson) damaging leaves of the Brazil nut (Bertholietia excelsa, Lecythidaceae) is reported. Adults fed on the surface of the leaves causing damage, and females cut and rolled the young leaves for nest construction. Injuries were more visible in young plants than in old ones.
