Rhynchophorus
''Rhynchophorus'', or common name palm weevils, is a genus of beetles in the weevil family, Curculionidae. Palm weevils are major pests of various trees in the family Arecaceae throughout the tropics including: coconut (''Cocos nucifera''), ''Areca catechu'', species of the genus ''Phoenix'', and ''Metroxylon sagu''. Two species are invasive pests outside their native ranges, ''Rhynchophorus ferrugineus'' and ''Rhynchophorus palmarum The South American palm weevil, ''Rhynchophorus palmarum'', is a species of snout beetle. The adults are relatively large black beetles of approximately one and a half inch in length, and the larvae may grow to two inches in length. Biology and ...''.

Rhynchophorus Ferrugineus
The palm weevil ''Rhynchophorus ferrugineus'' is one of two species of snout beetle known as the red palm weevil, Asian palm weevil or sago palm weevil. The adult beetles are relatively large, ranging between long, and are usually a rusty red colour—but many colour variants exist and have often been classified as different species (e.g., '' Rhynchophorus vulneratus''). Weevil larvae can excavate holes in the trunks of palm trees up to long, thereby weakening and eventually killing the host plant. As a result, the weevil is considered a major pest in palm plantations, including the coconut palm, date palm and oil palm. Originally from tropical Asia, the red palm weevil has spread to Africa and Europe, reaching the Mediterranean in the 1980s. It was first recorded in Spain in 1994, and in France in 2006. Additional infestations have been located in Malta, Italy (Tuscany, Sicily, Campania, Sardinia, Lazio, Marche, Puglia and Liguria), Croatia and Montenegro. It is also well estab ...

Rhynchophorus Vulneratus
The palm weevil ''Rhynchophorus vulneratus'' is one of two species of snout beetle known as the red palm weevil, Asian palm weevil, or Sago palm weevil. The adult beetles are relatively large, ranging between long, and vary from a rusty red colour to almost entirely black; many colour variants exist and have led to considerable confusion with other species (e.g., ''Rhynchophorus ferrugineus''). Weevil larvae of these species can excavate holes in the trunk of a palm tree up to long, thereby weakening and eventually killing the host plant. As a result, these weevils are considered major pests in palm plantations, including the coconut palm, date palm and oil palm. Distribution The native range of this species is considered to include Indonesia, Malaysia, Myanmar, Singapore, and Thailand; outside its native range it has been reported and confirmed only from the United States. Originally from tropical Asia, this palm weevil (initially misidentified as the closely related specie ...

Rhynchophorus Palmarum
The South American palm weevil, ''Rhynchophorus palmarum'', is a species of snout beetle. The adults are relatively large black beetles of approximately one and a half inch in length, and the larvae may grow to two inches in length. Biology and behavior These insects are attracted to the release of volatile compounds produced by injured palm trees. The larvae burrow through the hearts of palms, and their feeding can potentially kill an infested palm or serve as an avenue for secondary infections of bacterial disease. It is considered an important pest of cultivated coconut, date and oil palms, attacking thirty-five different species in twelve different families.Griffith, R. 1987. "Red ring disease of coconut palm". ''Plant Disease'' 71: 193–196.Sanchez, P and H. Cerda. 1993. "El complejo de ''Rhynchophorus palmarum/Bursaphelenchus cocophilus'' en palmas". ''Boletín di Entomología Venezolana'' 8, 1–18 It has also been documented as an occasional pest of sugar cane. This inse ...

Rhynchophorus Bilineatus
''Rhynchophorus bilineatus'', common name Black Palm Weevil, is a species of beetles belonging to the family Curculionidae. Description ''Rhynchophorus bilineatus'' can reach a body length of about 40mm. These large beetles are considered a major pest in palm plantations, mainly in ''Cocos nucifera'', ''Metroxylon sagu'' and '' Metroxylon solomonense''. In fact the adults lay eggs in wounds in the stems of palms. After hatching, the weevil larvae excavate tunnels in the trunk and feed on the tissues, frequently leading to the death the host plants. Distribution This species can be found in the Moluccas, Papua New Guinea and Solomon islands. Reports of ''Rhynchophorus ferrugineus'' from these areas are likely to be misidentified specimens of ''bilineatus''. Culinary uses The larval grub is considered a delicacy in West Papua, as well in Papua New Guinea. The Asmat, Korowai and Kombai peoples of southern New Guinea New Guinea (; Hiri Motu Hiri Motu, also known as ...

Rhynchophorus Phoenicis
The African Palm Weevil or ''Rhynchophorus phoenicis'' is a species of beetles belonging to the family Curculionidae. Varieties * ''Rhynchophorus phoenicis'' var. ''niger'' Faust, 1899 * ''Rhynchophorus phoenicis'' var. ''ruber'' Faust, 1899 Description ''African Palm Beetles'' can reach a body length of about 25 mm. These large beetles are considered a serious pest in palm plantations, particularly damaging young palms, mainly ''Cocos nucifera'', ''Metroxylon sagu'', Raphia species, ''Elaeis guineensis'' and ''Phoenix dactylifera''. The life cycle of the ''African Palm Weevil'' is similar to that of other ''Rhynchophorus'' species. The adults lay eggs in wounds in the stems of dying or damaged parts of palms. After hatching, the weevil larvae excavate tunnels in the trunk and feed on the shoot and young leaves, frequently leading to the death the host plants. The larvae of this palm weevil are edible. Distribution The species is widespread throughout tropical and equ ...

Rhynchophorus Cruentatus
The palmetto weevil (''Rhynchophorus cruentatus'') is an insect native to Florida, but has been found as far as southern Texas to the west and South Carolina to the north. It is the largest weevil in North America and the only kind of palm weevil in the continental United States. It infests palms and is considered a pest. Its main target is the Canary Island date palm, but date palms (a different species than the Canary Island date palm), sabal palms (the palmetto weevil's traditional target), saw palmetto (the palmetto weevil's traditional alternative target), ''Washingtonia'', '' Pritchardia'', royal palms, ''Latania'', coconut palms, ''Caryota ''Caryota'' is a genus of palm trees.

Arecaceae
The Arecaceae is a family of perennial flowering plants in the monocot order Arecales. Their growth form can be climbers, shrubs, tree-like and stemless plants, all commonly known as palms. Those having a tree-like form are called palm trees. Currently, 181 genera with around 2,600 species are known, most of which are restricted to tropical and subtropical climates. Most palms are distinguished by their large, compound, evergreen leaves, known as fronds, arranged at the top of an unbranched stem. However, palms exhibit an enormous diversity in physical characteristics and inhabit nearly every type of habitat within their range, from rainforests to deserts. Palms are among the best known and most extensively cultivated plant families. They have been important to humans throughout much of history. Many common products and foods are derived from palms. In contemporary times, palms are also widely used in landscaping. In many historical cultures, because of their importance as ...
