Abstract

The genus Coelocephalapion Wagner, 1914 is mainly associated with Leguminosae and Asteraceae. The objective of the work was to register for the first time the presence of the genus Coelocephalapion in flower buds of Platymiscium diadelphum S.F. Blake (Leguminosae) in the state of Lara, Venezuela. This information represents the first report of Coelocephalapion for the central western region of the country, contributing to increase geographic distribution data for South America.
