The research work was developed in Sivia - Huanta, the objective was to evaluate the behavior of Carmenta foraseminis (Busck) Eichlin in Criollo cocoa in Sivia - Huanta. The methodology was the description of feeding habits of Carmenta Sp, the population consisted of cocoa fruits (Theobroma cacao L.) Carmenta Foraseminis (Busck) Eichlin, consisting of 8 fruits 8 specimens of Carmenta sp, its distribution was 4 treatment 4 replicates. The quantification of damage by bites of Carmenta sp. on cocoa fruits, were 10 fruits and 10 specimens of Carmenta sp, distributed in 2 treatments and 4 replicates, the sample was defined by isolating cocoa fruits. In one cell, 4 fruits with 4 specimens of Carmenta sp, making a total of 4 samples. The techniques were experimental and non-experimental observation. A completely randomized design was used, with 2 treatments 4 replications with samples of fruits with Carmenta sp, fruits without Carmenta sp; the evaluations were: length, fruit diameter, fruit weight, fruit cob, wet kernels, dry kernels, fruit numbers. The results obtained were The Criollo cocoa was susceptible to the presence of Carmenta foraseminis (Busck) Eichlin, affecting; length, fruit weight, weight of wet and dry kernels. The number of bites of each insect in 12 hours were 3.5, with an average duration of 6.75 per minute. Conclusions The damage caused by Carmenta foraseminis (Busck) Eichlin. were T2 has positively outperformed T1 (fruit with Carmenta sp.) in the different parameters evaluated.
