Summary: ABSTRACT. Abstract - 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 (Handroanthusimpetiginosus = 7, H. roseoalbus = 4, and Tabebuiarosea = 4) were evaluated and 31 individuals of C. latruncularius were captured, often found within or close to leaf rolls caused by the psyllid Triozatabebuiae 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. TÍTULO. Cydianerus latruncularius (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) danificando folhas de ipês (Handroanthus spp., Bignoniaceae) em Brasília, Brasil RESUMO. Cydianerus latruncularius Perty (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) foram observados associados a árvores de ipês em Brasília, Brasil, em 2019. Para contribuir com informações a respeito de seus hábitos e os danos causados, foram avaliadas 15 árvores (Handroanthus impetiginosus = 7, H. roseoalbus = 4, and Tabebuia rosea = 4), sendo capturados 31 indivíduos de C. latruncularius, frequentemente dentro ou próximos aos enrolamentos foliares causados pelo psilídeo Trioza tabebuiae Burckhardt & Santana (Hemiptera: Triozidae). Os danos causados por C. latruncularius são injúrias nas bordas das folhas de maneira irregular. Esse é o primeiro relato de ocorrência desse besouro em ipês.
