Hylobius aliradicis Warner, 1966 View in CoL

Collection information.

USA: Georgia: Clarke Co.: a single individual from one site. Caught in flight trap from 6–19 May 2020.

Distribution.

Southeastern United States.

Saproxylic habits.

Larvae develop in the roots of young, dying slash pines ( Pinus elliottii Engelm. ), and have been collected from pine bolts ( Warner 1966); although Warner (1966) suggests that the larvae were the primary cause of tree death, more recent work suggests that H. Aliradicis and related pine weevils principally colonize already stressed trees ( Helbig et al. 2016).
