dc.description.abstract	Larvae of the bruchid beetle Caryedes brasiliensis (Bruchidae) develop entirely within the seed of the neotropical legume DiocIea megacarpa. The seed contains an appreciable concentration of L-canavanine, a potent arttimetabolite and structural analog of L-arginine. Tnis bruchid beetle uses the nitrogen stored iii this toxic allelochemical as an effective dietary nitrogen source for amino acid biosynthesis.	es_CR
