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'' in the mallow family Malvaceae, or the mallows, is a family of flowering plants estimated to contain 244 genera with 4225 known species. Well-known members of economic importance include okra, cotton, cacao and durian. There are also some genera containing familiar o ... 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, and aromatic compounds acted as odorants (attracto ...

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 l ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Anthonomus Santacruzi
''Anthonomus santacruzi'' is a weevil that is a promising biocontrol agent for ''Solanum mauritianum'' Scopoli, which is a major ecological weed in high-rainfall regions of South Africa. The weevil exhibited a preference for ''S. mauritianum'' and possibly two South African native species of ''Solanum'', namely ''Solanum linnaeanum, S. linnaeanum'' and ''S. tomentosum''.
