RODRIGUEZ MIRANDA, Daina  y  GRILLO RAVELO, Horacio. First report of Carcinops pumilio in poultry houses in the province of Villa Clara, Cuba. Ctro. Agr. [online]. 2019, vol.46, n.2, pp. 104-108. ISSN 0253-5785.

Associated with poultry production are pathogens that impede optimum health in poultry. Musca domestica (L.) is the most frequent pest and its most effective natural predator is the beetle Carcinops pumilio (Erichon) (Coleoptera; Histeridae). The collected insects were taxonomically identified as C. pumilio, which is the first report for Cuba documented by a dozen copies properly assembled, labeled, identified, and conserved in the Insect Collection deposited in the Center for Agricultural Research of the Central University “Marta Abreu” of Las Villas, Cuba.

Palabras clave : poultry farms; Musca domestica; predator.
