Little is known about the conditions in which these infestations occur and their effects on cacti. The first record of the genus Nitops in northeastern Brazil is presented and different aspects of the ecological interaction between the beetle and columnar cacti of the region are analysed. Quantitative analyses of infestations were performed on 141 samples of flowers, fruits and flower buds collected in the field. A single species of sap beetle, Nitops aff. pilosocerei, was observed in 33% of the flowers (fruits and flower buds did not present infestation). The number of beetles per flower varied from 1 to 126 (average: 12.9 beetles/flower). The male to female ratio was approximately 1:1. Several beetles were found with pollen attached to their exoskeleton. The number of beetles per flower reported is up to 3–4 times greater than other records in the literature. The ecological interaction between beetle and plant is discussed.","PeriodicalId":50726,"journal":{"name":"Bradleya","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2021-05-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45419119","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

(Crassulaceae). At the age of 15 he published his first new species of Kalanchoe, and at the age of 18 he had already published a comprehensive revision of the genus, replete with the citation of virtually all the literature available on the genus at the time, as well as a voluminous exsiccata held by and derived from numerous herbaria. Over a period of 57 years Raymond-Hamet described and reclassified more than 60 species of Kalanchoe, mostly from Madagascar but some also from other parts of the world, and additionally proposed several new names in the genus that were later validly published by other researchers. An analysis and appreciation of Raymond-Hamet's work on Kalanchoe, including of the species he described and reclassified in the genus are provided.
