Abstract
In many parts of the world where soybean is grown, a few species of Coleoptera have adapted to feeding, during the larval stage, within the stems of soybean plants. Most of these species are in the Cerambycidae, but at least one species, in southern Brazil, is in the Curculionidae. The following cerambycid species have been recorded in association with soybean: in the United States, Hippopsis lemniscata (F.) (Genung and Green 1965) and Dectes texanus texanus LeConte; in Peru, Grammopsoides rufipes Breuning (M. E. Irwin, personal communication); in India, Oberea brevis Swederus (Gangrade 1974); and in Australia, Zygrita diva Thomson (Jarvis and Smith 1946). The curculionid recorded as a stem borer in southern Brazil is Sternechus subsignatus Boheman (Corseuil et al. 1974).
