Zusammenfassung
Three cases of potential interaction between seed bruchids and legumes with subterranean pods are analized: a) Bruchus tristiculus and Lathyrus amphycarpos; b) Bruchidius murinus and Trifolium subterraneum; and c) Caryedon serratus and Arachis hypogea. Some hypotheses on the nature of these interactions are presented, but we conclude that only in the first two interactions were possible the oviposition when pods are only superficially covered and lie close to the soil surface. In third case, oviposition is only posible following exhumation of the pods, usually by human intervention
