Zabrotes chavesi is a species of leaf beetle in the family Chrysomelidae.[2][3][4][5] It is found in the Americas,[2] from northern South America (Venezuela) through Central America to Mexico[5][6] and Arizona (USA).[5] It is named for Franklin Chaves, the director of Santa Rosa National Park (Costa Rica), which is the type locality of this species.[1]
The holotype was collected from Cassia leptocarpa (=Senna hirsuta) seeds.[1] Other food plants include Cassia emarginata (=Senna bicapsularis) and Senna spectabilis.[6]
Zabrotes chavesi measure 1.6–2.8 mm (0.063–0.110 in) in length[6] and are dorsally brown with some grey markings.[1]
