Cydianerus latruncularius Perty (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) were observed associated with trumpet trees (Handroanthus spp.) in Brasília, Brazil, in 2019. To contribute with information about their habits and damage, 15 trees (Handroanthus impetiginosus = 7, H. roseoalbus = 4, and Tabebuia rosea = 4) were evaluated and 31 individuals of C. latruncularius were captured, often found within or close to leaf rolls caused by the psyllid Trioza tabebuiae Burckhardt & Santana (Hemiptera: Triozidae). The damage caused by C. latruncularius consists of irregular injuries at the leaves’ edges. This is the first report of this beetle occurring on trumpet trees.

Handroanthus Impetiginosus

The purple trumpet tree [Handroanthus impetiginosus (Mart. Ex DC.) Mattos - Bignoniaceae] is one of the most prominent tree species in the Brazilian Federal District, with more than 150 trees in the Plano Piloto region of Brasília. In March 2017, weevils (Coleoptera) were observed in ripe fruits of purple trumpet trees feeding on already dried seeds. The objective of this paper is to report and describe the main damage to seeds and pods of H. impetiginosus in Brasília, Brazil, caused by this beetle. The insect was identified as Cleogonus insulcatus Fiedler, 1954 (Coleoptera: Curculionidae). Of the 126 fruits analyzed, 104 exhibited predation by C. insulcatus (82.5%) and 377 larvae were collected inside the pods feeding on the seeds. This is the first report of C. insulcatus in Brazil and the first record of damage to H. impetiginosus pods and seeds caused by this insect.

Adenocarcinoma Of Lung

Summary50 years old man suffering from primary lung adenocarcinoma presented with high levels of both beta subunit human chorionic gonadotropin (βHCG) and cancer antigen 15-3 (CA 15-3) in the absence of elevated carcinoembrionic antigen (CEA), alfa fetoprotein (AFP) and carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA 19-9). Although βHCG or CA 15-3 high levels were reported in adenocarcinoma of lung, this is the first report of a patient with high levels of both markers.
