• Abstract: Conogethes punctiferalis Guenée, 1854 (Lepidoptera: Crambidae) is presented as an absent quarantine pest (AQP) in Brazil. This moth is highly polyphagous and among its various hosts could also be mentioned the fruit, grain, forest, and macadamia nut crops. The transport and trade of infested plants, seeds, and fruits favor its dispersion and occurrence in areas with the presence of hosts, demanding for strategical actions to enable its rapid identification and preventive monitoring against the entry in favorable areas for its development on the national territory. This work presents the territorial zoning map of favorable areas for the AQP Conogethes punctiferalis in Brazil, considering the presence of at least one planted area of its 29 host crops present in the country.  The identification of national areas favorable for the insect was obtained by ecological niche modeling (GARP/Openmodeller), considering international data from places already attacked abroad by the insect, as well as national information of climatic factors (obtained from BDMET/INMET) and of areas with the presence of planting of at least one of the 29 hosts (retrieved from IBGE and from Brazilian Association of Macadamia Nut). This information was made available in GIS ArcGIS, considering the grid of national territorial (IGBE) to obtain the expected zoning map. The results obtained showed that 4626 municipalities, distributed in 490 micro-regions of the 27 federation units (UF) were apt for the AQP. The places indicated by the zoning map of favorable areas for Conogethes punctiferalis in Brazil contribute to preventive strategies for the national phytosanitary defense focusing on this AQP.
