description The objective of the word was to evaluate circumstantial evidence in relation to the presence of Aethina tumida in Apis mellifera hives in Colombia. Field trips were carried out to diagnose and identify the presence of A. tumida, in municipalities associated with the coffee zone, isolating beetle specimens when possible, removing them from the bee colonies in the brood chamber and from fruit residues disposed near the hives. The specimens were evaluated considering morphometric parameters, on 18 variables. The presence of A. tumida was established in the towns of Dosquebradas and Pereira, Risaralda. The morphometric variables agree with the specific structure of the A. tumida specimen for the head, prothorax, pterothorax, abdomen, appendages and weight, unequivocal and differentiated characters with respect to Cychramus luteus Fabricius 1787, which evidence the presence of the etiological agent. The findings after the capture and analysis of the small beetles confirm the presence of A. tumida in Apis mellifera hives in the Colombian coffee region.

El objetivo del trabajo fue evaluar evidencias circunstanciales en relación a presencia de Aethina tumida en colmenas de Apis mellifera en Colombia. Se realizaron excursiones de campo para diagnosticar e identificar la presencia de A. tumida, en municipios asociados a zona cafetera, aislando ejemplares escarabajos cuando fue posible, removiéndolos de las colonias de abejas de la cámara de cría y de residuos de frutas dispuestos cerca de las colmenas. Los ejemplares fueron evaluados considerando parámetros morfométricos, sobre 18 variables. Se logró establecer la presencia de A. tumida en las localidades de Dosquebradas y Pereira, Risaralda. Las variables morfométricas concuerdan con las estructura propia del espécimen A. tumida para la cabeza, protórax, pterotórax, abdomen, apéndices y el peso, caracteres inequívocos y diferenciados respecto de Cychramus luteus Fabricius 1787, que evidencian la presencia del agente etiológico. Los hallazgos tras la captura y análisis de los pequeños escarabajos confirman la presencia de A. tumida en colmenas de Apis mellifera en zona cafetera colombiana Universidad Pedagógica y Tecnológica de Colombia 2023-03-02 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion texto application/pdf https://revistas.uptc.edu.co/index.php/ciencia_en_desarrollo/article/view/14082 10.19053/01217488.v14.n1.2023.14082 Ciencia En Desarrollo; Vol. 14 No. 1 (2023): Vol 14, Núm.1 (2023): Enero-Junio; 29-39 Ciencia en Desarrollo; Vol. 14 Núm. 1 (2023): Vol 14, Núm.1 (2023): Enero-Junio; 29-39 2462-7658 0121-7488 spa https://revistas.uptc.edu.co/index.php/ciencia_en_desarrollo/article/view/14082/13492
