Resumen
Se presentan los aspectos biológicos de Gymnetis bonplandii Schaum (Coleóptera, Scarabaeidae), un “escarabajo” frugívoro de importancia agrícola. La investigación se realizó entre enero y noviembre del 2013. Las observaciones preliminares de G. bonplandii Schaum bajo condiciones de laboratorio tuvieron una duración de 14.19 ± 0.57 días (huevo), 38.54 ± 1.88 días (larva I), 197.06 ± 25.57 (larva II) y 47.36 ± 10.58 (pupa) no habiendo registrado los datos del estadío III. Se detalla el comportamiento de las larvas y adulto y además se presenta la descripción morfológica del huevo, larvas, pupa y adulto.

Abstract
Biological aspects of Gymnetis bonplandii Schaum (Coleóptera, Scarabaeidae), a fruit beetle of agricultural importance are presented. This research was performed between January and November 2013. Preliminary observations of G. bonplandii Schaum worked under laboratory conditions were 14.19 ± 0.57 days (egg), 38.54 ± 1.88 days (instar I), 197.06 ± 25.57 (instar II) and 47.36 ± 10.58 (pupa) but no data on instar III are shown. Details of behavior of larvae and adult and further morphological description of the egg, larva, pupa and adult are included.
Keywords: biological aspects, Gymnetis bonplandii, Coleoptera, Scarabaeidae.
