Abstract

The genus Eudiagogus Schoenherr, 1840 (Curculionidae) is endemic to the Américas and currently has six species characterized by predilection for plants of the genus Sesbania Scop, 1777 (Fabaceae). Plants of the genus Sesbania accepted as hosts for Eudiagogus species and especially association of E. pulcher F., 1840, with Sesbania herbácea, 1987 were reported. Biological observations such as sex ratio and variability of the population in southern Tamaulipas, México also were recorded, as was distribution, and male and female genitalia and adult forms were illustrated.
