description In Argentina there are few studies referring to Lepidoptera harmful to the cultivation of Chenopodium quinoa. The objective of this work was to identify species of the mentioned order in quinoa in high areas of Jujuy. With this aim, larvae of these insects were extracted from panicles of Chalguamayoc (Yavi, Jujuy) in February and November of 2011. They were kept in breeding cages and fed with panicles of the crop until the emergence of adults. In addition, the specimens of Lepidoptera associated with quinoa in Jujuy, which are deposited in the Entomological Collection of Instituto de Biología de la Altura (INBIAL), were reviewed.The identification was carried out through microscopic preparations of female and male genitalia and the observation of wing coloration patterns. Three species were identified: Eurysacca melanocampta (Gelechiidae, Gnorimoschemini), Copitarsia incommoda and Copitarsia corruda (Noctuidae, Cuculliinae). This contribution represents the first reference to E. melanocampta and C. corruda in Argentina, the expansion of the distribution of C. incommoda in the country, and the first record of C. incommoda and C. corruda on Chenopodium quinoa as a host plant.

En Argentina son escasos los estudios referidos a Lepidoptera dañinos sobre quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa). El objetivo de este trabajo fue identificar especies de ese orden asociadas a la quinoa en zonas de altura de Jujuy. Para ello, se recolectaron orugas de panojas procedentes de Chalguamayoc (Yavi, Jujuy), en febrero y noviembre de 2011. Estas orugas fueron mantenidas en jaulas de cría y alimentadas con panojas del cultivo hasta la emergencia de los adultos. Además, se revisaron ejemplares de Lepidoptera asociados a quinoa en Jujuy, depositados en la colección entomológica del Instituto de Biología de la Altura (INBIAL). La identificación se realizó mediante preparaciones microscópicas de las genitalias de machos y hembras y del patrón de coloración alar. Se identificaron tres especies: Eurysacca melanocampta (Gelechiidae, Gnorimoschemini), Copitarsia incommoda y Copitarsia corruda (Noctuidae, Cuculliinae). Estos aportes representan la primera cita de E. melanocampta y C. corruda para la Argentina, la ampliación de la distribución de C. incommoda en el país y el primer registro de C. incommoda y C. corruda sobre Chenopodium quinoa como nueva planta hospedadora.
