Ampliación de la distribución de Dinapate wrightii Horn (Coleoptera: Bostrichidae) en Baja California Sur, México

[摘要] We report the presence of the giant palm borer Dinapate wrightii in an oasis of Baja California Sur, Mexico. This beetle is considered a serious pest of the native desert palms of California and Arizona, U.S. It was reported almost 8 decades ago only with the remains of a specimen collected at 500 km forward of the Baja California. This finding extends the range of the species and clarifies its distribution in Mexico.
