THE BEETLE Scaphidomorphus bosci Guérin-Méneville, 1841 (COLEOPTERA: EROTYLIDAE) AND ITS FUNGUS Trichoderma Sp., AS FOOD, DARIEN PROVINCE, PANAMÁ.

The Erotylidae family comprises more than 280 genera and 3,500 speciesworldwide. They are the most diverse of the Cucujoidea, are brightly coloredand they eat mushrooms. In the Darién National Park, 14 genera are recognizedand 37 species in two subfamilies: Erotylinae and Tritominae. This work aimsto report the fungus with which immature and adult stages feed onScaphidomorphus bosci Guérin-Méneville beetle, 1841 in the Darién NationalPark. 12 field visits were made between the years 2013 to 2017 in the RanchoFrío Station, Province of Darién. We made three clearings of 2 km along thetrails inside the forest while surveying for decomposing wood trunks for thepresence of the beetle S. bosci. A total of 32 adults, 135 larvae and 128 pupaeof the beetle were collected, located on the substrate with the mushrooms.Samples were collected from the substrate (wood) where I found the fungusand they were moved to the laboratory, following the rules indicated by thepersonnel of the Laboratory of Microbiology and Parasitology, of the School of Biology of the University of Panama. The site was geo- referenced whilebiological and ecological data were taken where the beetles were located. Thefungus was isolated and identified as Trichoderma sp (Hypocreales,Hypocreaceae, Teleomorfo Hypocrea) that belongs to the Ascomycota division,present in almost all soils and grow on dead wood, bark, manure, other fungi,building materials and animals, including human beings, demonstrating greatpotential opportunity and adaptation to ecological conditions. In conclusion, thefungus-beetle relationship S. bosci could be a “weed fungus” which forms apart of the beetle’s diet, while also having a commensal type relationship withthe beetle and may be used as a supplemental source of food.

La familia Erotylidae comprende más de 280 géneros y de 3 500especies a nivel mundial, siendo una de las más diversas de lasuperfamilia Cucujoidea, se alimentan de hongos y son de coloresvistosos. En el Parque Nacional Darién se reconocen 14 géneros y37 especies agrupadas en dos subfamilias: Erotylinae y Tritominae.Este trabajo tiene como objetivo reportar el hongo con el cual sealimentan estadios inmaduros y adultos del escarabajoScaphidomorphus bosci Guérin-Méneville, 1841 en el ParqueNacional Darién. Se realizaron 12 visitas al campo entre los años2013 a 2017 en la Estación Rancho Frío, Provincia de Darién. Serealizaron tres transeptos de 2 km en los senderos, dentro del bosque,inspeccionando sobre troncos y madera en descomposición paradetectar la presencia del escarabajo S. bosci. Se colectaron untotal de 32 adultos, 135 larvas y 128 pupas, ubicadas del escarabajo,ubicados sobre macrohongo creciendo sobre madera muerta. Se colectaron muestras del macrohongo y se trasladaron al laboratorio, siguiendolas normas indicadas por el personal del Laboratorio de Microbiología yParasitología, de la Escuela de Biología, de la Universidad de Panamá. Lossitios de muestreo fueron geo-referenciados y se tomaron datos biológicos yecológicos donde se localizaron los escarabajos. El hongo fue aislado eidentificado como Trichoderma (Ascomycota, Hypocreales (Hypocreaceae,Teleomorfo Hypocrea), presente en casi todos los suelos y crece sobre maderamuerta, corteza, estiércol, otros hongos, materiales de construcción y animales,incluidos los humanos, demostrando gran oportunidad potencial y adaptación alas condiciones ecológicas. En conclusión, la relación hongo-escarabajo S. boscipodría ser un “hongo maleza” que forma parte de la dieta del escarabajo,pudiendo tener también una relación comensalista con el escarabajo y ser usadocomo una fuente suplementaria de alimento.
