This research was conducted from august 2008 to August 2011 in five municipalities of the Central Depression of Chiapas State of Mexico. Sampling was carried out on 15 living fences transects of 100 m length, and on the Jatropha Germplasm Bank arboretum of the Faculty of Agronomic Sciences of the Chiapas Autonomous University at Villaflores, Chiapas. Specimens were collected on leaves, flowers and fruits of physic nut, with an aerial entomological net, but some were collected by hand as stem borers. Specimens were deposited in the Entomological Collection of the Faculty of Agronomic Sciences (CACH). Overall reviewed individuals were 141, distributed in three subfamilies, 15 tribes, 23 genera and 27 species. More abundantly species were Odontocera aurocincta aurocincta Bates, Essostrutha laeta Newman, Lagocheirus undatus Voet, Trachyderes mandibularis mandibularis Serville y Stenosphenus trispinosus Bates with 72, 13, 7, 5 and 4 individuals, respectively. Lagocheirus undatus Voet is the only species that has been reported previously in Jatropha curcas L. Of the 27 species reported in this paper, five are new records for Chiapas state, among which are: Bromiades brachyptera Chevrolat (Cerambycinae: Rhinotragini), Hippopsis lemniscata Fabricius (Lamiinae: Agapanthini), Psapharochrus circumflexus J. du Val in Sagra (Lamiinae: Acanthoderini) and Strangalia biannulata Linsley (Lepturinae: Lepturini).
