This study documents for the first time the presence of the beetle Trachyderes succinctus (Cerambycidae) on the plant Senna reticulata (Fabaceae) in the city of Iquitos, Peru. The sample consisted of three beetle larvae collected from within the branches of the plant, which were reared in controlled environments until reaching adulthood. The adult beetle individuals and plant samples were identified using specialized keys. T. succinctus shows a preference for plant species in the Fabales order, and this finding expands our knowledge of its relationship with different species. This study provides valuable information about the interaction between the beetle and the plant in the Peruvian Amazon.

Theraphosidae represent the family with the greatest diversity in the Mygalomorphae suborder, but the scarcity of studies in the Peruvian Amazon has generate uncertainty about its richness, reason that encourages to determine the species of tarantulas located the middle basin of the Putumayo river (Peru). Sampling was carried out in two communities: Puerto Arturo and Bobona, riparian populations, along pre-established transects and occasional manual collecting outside the transects; allspecimens were identified using taxonomic keys, descriptions and information available on web pages. Ten individuals were recorded, distributed in seven species, three belonging to the subfamily Theraphosinae, two to Avicularinae, one to Ischnocolinae and one to Psalmonpoeinae. This work aims to presents preliminary results of the diversity of tarantulas in the Putumayo river basin in indicating. The prese...
