Abstract

Macadamia fruit with insect damage (n 5 1614) were sampled at five farms in Guatemala during 2017. Infested fruit yielded 220 adult moths: 57.27% Gymnandrosoma aurantianum (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae), 41.36% Catarata sp. (Lepidoptera: Depressariidae), and 1.36% Deoclona sp. (Lepidoptera: Autostichidae). These are the first records of these lepidopteran species from macadamia in Guatemala. Percentages of macadamia fruits damaged by lepidopteran fruit borers at the three farms with the highest rates of infestation were 15.92%, 13.70%, and 13.41%, comparable to infestation rates reported from Costa Rica.
