Anthonomus
''Anthonomus'' is a genus of weevils. This genus includes major agricultural pests such as the boll weevil, strawberry blossom weevil, and pepper weevil, as well as promising biological pest control agents such as '' Anthonomus santacruzi''. Taxonomy The taxonomy of the genus is still under revision. It is unclear whether '' Cnemocyllus'' should be a genus or a subgenus within ''Anthonomus''. Research suggests that the genus ''Hampea ''Hampea'' is a genus of flowering plants in the family (biology), family Malvaceae. They are trees native to Mexico, Central America, and Colombia. There are about 21 species. Species include: * ''Hampea appendiculata'' * ''Hampea breedlovei'' ...'' in the mallow family was the original host plant for the ''A. grandis'' species group.

Anthonomus Rubi
''Anthonomus rubi'', the strawberry-blossom weevil or strawberry blossom weevil, is a species of weevil found in Europe and western Asia. It feeds on plants of the family Rosaceae and is an important pest of strawberry (''Fragaria'' × ''ananassa'' Duchesne) and raspberry (''Rubus idaeus'' L.). This insect is a particularly problematic pest of strawberry in Europe, in some cases responsible for up to 80% loss of the berry crop. Ecology and description Adults are long and dull black, covered with a fine grey pubescence. The larvae are long, curved, and white with brown head. Adults feed on strawberry foliage, and females lay eggs inside unopened flower buds (one egg per bud) before partially or totally severing the stalk; larvae develop inside the severed buds, feeding on the wilting tissue. Role of pheromones Adults are thought to be attracted to strawberries by chemicals released by the plants. Monoterpenes, sesquiterpenes Sesquiterpenes are a class of terpenes that cons ...

Anthonomus Eugenii
''Anthonomus eugenii'' is known as the pepper weevil. This beetle feeds and lays eggs on plants in the genus ''Capsicum'' and a few species in the genus ''Solanum''. ''A. eugenii'' is native to Mexico, however, it is an important pest of ''Capsicum'' in Florida, Puerto Rico, and Central America. Identification Adult ''A. eugenii'' are dark brown in colour with cream coloured scales covering their bodies. They are approximately 3 millimetres in length and have an oval-shaped body. ''A. eugenii'' have a curved rostrum, which is characteristic of the genus ''Anthonomus''. Female ''A. eugenii'' have a greater length between the antennae and mandibles on the rostrum, which is thought to aid in burrowing into host plants for oviposition. Distribution ''A. eugenii'' are predominately found throughout Mexico, Central America, the Caribbean, and the southernmost states of the United States of America. The northern range of ''A. eugenii'' is limited by cold temperatures and the lack of ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Anthonomus Santacruzi
''Anthonomus santacruzi'' is a species of weevil that is a promising biocontrol agent for ''Solanum mauritianum'', a major ecological weed in high-rainfall regions of South Africa. The weevil exhibits a preference for ''S. mauritianum'' and possibly two South African native species of ''Solanum ''Solanum'' is a large and diverse genus of flowering plants, which include three food crops of high economic importance: the potato, the tomato and the eggplant (aubergine, brinjal).

Anthonomus Grandis
The boll weevil (''Anthonomus grandis'') is a species of beetle in the Family (biology), family Curculionidae. The boll weevil feeds on cotton buds and flowers. Thought to be native to Central Mexico, it migrated into the United States from Mexico in the late 19th century and had infested all U.S. cotton-growing areas by the 1920s, devastating the industry and the people working in the American South. During the late 20th century, it became a serious pest in South America as well. Since 1978, the Boll Weevil Eradication Program in the U.S. allowed full-scale cultivation to resume in many regions. Description The adult insect has a long snout, a grayish color, and is usually less than in length. Life cycle image:Bulletin (1904) (20402387206).jpg, 1) Dorsum (anatomy), Dorsal view of adult; 2) side view of adult; 3) egg; 4) side view of larva; 5) ventral view of pupa; 6) adult, with wings spread Adult weevils overwintering, overwinter in well-drained areas in or near cotton field ...

Weevil
Weevils are beetles belonging to the superfamily Curculionoidea, known for their elongated snouts. They are usually small – less than in length – and herbivorous. Approximately 97,000 species of weevils are known. They belong to several families, with most of them in the family Curculionidae (the true weevils). It also includes bark beetles, which while morphologically dissimilar to other weevils in lacking the distinctive snout, is a subfamily of Curculionidae. Some other beetles, although not closely related, bear the name "weevil", such as the leaf beetle subfamily Bruchinae, known as "bean weevils", or the biscuit weevil (''Stegobium paniceum''), which belongs to the family Ptinidae. Many weevils are considered pests because of their ability to damage and kill crops. The grain or wheat weevil (''Sitophilus granarius'') damages stored grain, as does the maize weevil (''Sitophilus zeamais''), among others.

Curculioninae
The beetle subfamily Curculioninae is part of the weevil family (biology), family Curculionidae. It contains over 23,500 described species in 2,200 genera, and is therefore the largest weevil subfamily. Given that the beetle order (biology), order (Coleoptera) contains about one-quarter of all known organisms, the Curculioninae represent one of the – if not ''the'' – most successful radiations of terrestrial Metazoa. Many weevils of this group are commonly known as flower weevils or acorn and nut weevils, after a food commonly eaten by Curculioninae larvae and imago, imagines — the Reproduction, reproductive organs of plants. Systematics This large subfamily is divided into around 30 tribe (biology), tribes. Delimitation of the Curculioninae is fairly robust considering its enormous size; there is some dispute, however, in their exact boundary with the Molytinae. The Phrynixini and Trypetidini are also included in the Curculioninae by some authors, but more ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
