摘要：

The leaf-cutting ants are important pests of agriculture and forestry sectors in Brazil. The control of this pest, in general, has been carried out with the use of chemical pesticides, especially insecticides poisoned baits. Alternative methods to chemical control are known and can represent significant control of this pest, however, are little studied. The purpose of this review is to discuss about bioecological aspects and perspectives for use of a typical predator of Atta Fabricius females, 1804 (Hymenoptera: Formicidae), the beetle predator Canthon virens Mannerhein (1929) (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae). This predator, commonly found in savanna areas of Brazil, decapitate the female of Atta during and post nuptial flight. This felled prey is transported into their nests in the ground and serve as food for their larvaes.
