Resumo
The pequizeiro is considered a typical plant of Cerrado of the Brazilian Middle West, predominating on others in the
environment, with elevated importance for the economy from Goiás. The objective of this research was to study the
entomofauna occurrence, in pequizeiro plants of sixteen populations of Goiás State. There were evaluated 313
pequizeiro plants, through inspection of third part of the base of the plants. The insects were captured from parts of
the plants, using entomologic net or through the laboratory. The behavior of the insects visitors was registered
through observations, description and creation in laboratory of some species with high population to field. Also, data
were logged according to the occurrence, place of attack or oviposition and type of symptoms. The Open pasture of
the state of Goiás possesses rich entomofauna associated to the pequizeiro. The captured species and their respective occurrence percentage belong to the following orders: Hemiptera (25.64 %), Coleoptera (17.95 %), Lepidoptera
(16.67 %), Hymenoptera (15.39 %), Diptera (11.54 %), Orthoptera (6.41 %), Neuroptera (2.56 %), Isoptera (1.28
%), Thysanoptera (1.28 %), Psicoptera (1.28 %). The species with the highest frequency in all the populations of
pequizeiro were: Eulechriops sp. (100 %), Atta laevigatta (100 %), Eunica bechina (93.75 %), Lyriomisia sp.
(93.75 %), Edessa rufomarginata (100 %), Rhodoneura intermedia (100 %) and Phydotricha sp. (81.25 %). The
species Thagona tibiali, A. laevigatta, R. intermedia, Carmenta sp. e E. rufomarginata can be considered potential
plague of pequizeiro at Cerrados of Goias State. Further studies are necessary to understand the population dynamic
of these insects and their relations with the host from different eco-regions of Goiás cerrados.
