Gonipterini
Gonipterini is a tribe of weevils in the subfamily Curculioninae. The larvae and adults are usually found on eucalyptus trees, where they feed upon the foliage. The larvae are legless and slug-like in appearance. The adults have a broad body, and short stout rostrum. ''Gonipterus gibberus'' and ''Gonipterus scutellatus'' (eucalyptus weevil) were introduced from Australia to South America South America is a continent entirely in the Western Hemisphere and mostly in the Southern Hemisphere, with a relatively small portion in the Northern Hemisphere at the northern tip of the continent. It can also be described as the southe ..., where they became pest species in eucalypt plantations. Control of ''Gonipterus'' in South America was largely achieved following the introduction from Australia of a small parasitic wasp that attacks the weevil's eggs, providing an example of biological control.

Gonipterus
''Gonipterus'' is a genus of weevils in the family Curculionidae. There are approximately 20 described species in the genus, most of which are native to Australia.Mapondera, T. S., et al. (2012)Identification and molecular phylogenetics of the cryptic species of the Gonipterus scutellatus complex (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Gonipterini).''Australian Journal of Entomology'' 51(3) 175-88. They are all plant feeders and many are specific to a single host species. ''Gonipterus gibberus'' and ''Gonipterus scutellatus'' infest a number of species of ''Eucalyptus'' and have spread to other parts of the world where these trees have been planted. Species Species include: *'' Gonipterus balteatus'' Pascoe, 1870 *'' Gonipterus bimaculatus'' Lea, 1927 *'' Gonipterus bruchi'' Marshall, 1927 *'' Gonipterus cancellata'' Lea, 1901 *'' Gonipterus cinnamomeus'' Pascoe, 1870 *'' Gonipterus cionoides'' Pascoe, 1870 *'' Gonipterus citrophagus'' Lea, 1897 *'' Gonipterus conicollis'' Lea, 1927 * ...

Oxyops Vitiosa
''Oxyops vitiosa'' is a species of weevil in the family Curculionidae. Common names include the melaleuca leaf weevil and the melaleuca snout beetle. It feeds on the leaves and shoots of the broad-leaved paper bark tree, ''Melaleuca quinquenervia'', which is endemic to Australia where it grows on seasonally inundated plains and swampland, and was introduced into Florida in order to help drain flooded portions of the Everglades.Ferriter, et al (2004) Life cycle Adult weevils are gray and six to nine millimetres long, the males being slightly smaller than the females. They are usually found on the leaves and twigs of saplings or the new growth of larger melaleuca trees but are inconspicuous and their presence is most noticeable from the holes they chew in the buds, leaves and stems. After mating, the females lays eggs singly or in small groups on the tips of young leaves or sometimes on more mature leaves and new plant growth. The eggs are yellow and one millimetre long when lai ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Gonipterus Scutellatus
''Gonipterus scutellatus'' is a species of weevil in the family Curculionidae. It is commonly known as the eucalyptus snout beetle, the eucalyptus weevil or the gum tree weevil. It feeds and breeds on ''Eucalyptus'' trees and is endemic to Australia.European and Mediterranean Plant Protection Organization. Data sheets on quarantine pests''Gonipterus gibberus'' and ''Gonipterus scutellatus'' Description This weevil is greyish-brown with a light coloured transverse band. It is about thirteen millimetres long and not readily distinguishable from the closely related weevil, ''Gonipterus gibberus'', which shares the same common names. The larvae are yellowish-green with black markings and have three dark green stripes on the abdomen which distinguish them from larvae of ''G. gibberus''. Host plants ''Eucalyptus'' trees are the only hosts for the gum tree weevil. The species most susceptible to attack include '' Eucalyptus camaldulensis'', ''Eucalyptus globulus'', ''Eucalyptus maideni ...

Curculioninae
The beetle subfamily Curculioninae is part of the weevil 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 (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 imagines — the reproductive organs of plants. Systematics This large subfamily is divided into around 30 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 often they are considered Molytinae; conversely, the Itini are usuall ...

Tribe (biology)
In biology, a tribe is a taxonomic rank above genus, but below family and subfamily. It is sometimes subdivided into subtribes. By convention, all taxonomic ranks from genus upwards are capitalized, including both tribe and subtribe. In zoology, the standard ending for the name of a zoological tribe is "-ini". Examples include the tribes Caprini (goat-antelopes), Hominini (hominins), Bombini (bumblebees), and Thunnini (tunas). The tribe Hominini is divided into subtribes by some scientists; subtribe Hominina then comprises "humans". The standard ending for the name of a zoological subtribe is "-ina". In botany, the standard ending for the name of a botanical tribe is "-eae". Examples include the tribes Acalypheae and Hyacintheae. The tribe Hyacintheae is divided into subtribes, including the subtribe Massoniinae. The standard ending for the name of a botanical subtribe is "-inae". In bacteriology, the form of tribe names is as in botany, e.g., Pseudomonadeae, based on the ge ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
