Abstract

We present the first record of Macrosoma tipulata Hübner, 1818 in Colombia as a species of agricultural importance in copoazu. Two individuals in immature state and one adult were collected in the department of Caquetá, Florencia municipality, associated with the crops of copoazu Theobroma grandiflorum (Willd. ex Spreng.) K. Schum (Malvaceae). Additionally, we provide diagnostic images for this species of wing patterns, genital structures, and observations on the damage caused by last instar caterpillars on the copoazu leaves
