Feeding Records of Costa Rican Leaf Beetles (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae)
Abstract
Host plant associations are given for 137 species representing 7 subfamilies and 92 genera of Costa Rican Chrysomelidae. A numeric score is introduced to objectively describe confidence that a field observation of an interaction between a chrysomelid and a plant represents true herbivory. Literature host plant records, if they exist, are given for included chrysomelid taxa.Downloads
