| | scarab larvae, scarab grubs | Explanation:
The terms "bicho bolo", "coró", and "pão-de-galinha" apply to ANY beetle larva of the huge family Scarabaeidae (60,000+ species described). You can refer to them using the general terms "scarab larvae" (plural: the singular is larva) or "scarab grubs". This is from my own experience, after having taught college Entomology courses for over 18 years. |

Explanation:
The scientific name is correct. It's a beetle that infests potato crops. I couldn't find the correct name in English, but a synonym is "bicho bolo".

Os prejuízos causados por larvas do “pão de galinha” no desenvolvimento da cana são: enfraquecimento da planta, menor vigor e maior suscetibilidade da lavoura a agentes patogênicos. No plantio, as larvas atacam as gemas dos toletes, o que compromete a germinação provocando falhas e redução de perfilhos. Em canaviais formados as larvas provocam a destruição das raízes e atingem a base dos colmos, resultando na morte da planta. Tanto no plantio como em canaviais formados a praga se manifesta em reboleiras. Na fase adulta, os insetos praticamente não se alimentam e a função é de acasalamento e disseminação das espécies.
