Abstract
Laboratory crossing experiments indicate that populations of A. limoni cus sensu lato collected from cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) in Br azil (Cruz das Almas) and Colombia (Palmira and Monteria) are conspeci fic and different from A. limonicus Garman & McGregor sensu stricto co llected in Riverside, California, USA and Jaguariuna, Brazil. A. limon icus s. 1. did not cross with A. tenuiscutus, A. rapax or A. limonicus s.s.. A. limonicus s.s. did not cross with A. rapax. Populations of A . aerialis, A. anonymus and A. idaeus from Colombia are conspecific wi th Brazilian populations of these species.
