Descripción:	In the coffee farming of the Rondônia state, Brazil, population outbreaks and economic losses associated with the rosette caterpillar have been increasingly frequent. Two species of rosette caterpillars [Phidotricha erigens Ragonot, 1888 (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) and Cryptoblabes gnidiella (Millière, 1867) (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae)] have been found infesting Amazonian Robusta coffee plants in the Rondônia state. Cryptoblabes gnidiella was recorded for the first time in coffee plants in the Rondônia state, whereas P. erigens was identified for the first time as a pest in coffee plants (Coffea sp.) in the world. In the sampled areas, P. erigens predominated over C. gnidiella, being probably the species that has caused the greatest damage to coffee in Rondônia. Both species cause similar injuries to coffee plants, as they consume flower buds, flowers, peduncle of the flower buds and fruits, and fruits in formation.
