Homalinotus coriaceus, also known as the 'black coconut bunch weevil', is a species of weevil belonging to the family Curculionidae. This species can be found in Brazil.[1] This beetle is a pest species that affects coconut cultivation, due to its lifecycle and feeding habits.[2]
Morphology
The black coconut bunch weevil is a black-colored beetle, measuring 25 to 30 mm in length.[3] In addition to a rostrum about 8 mm long, the females differ little from the males, being slightly larger and having two faint depressions on the pronotum. The eggs are white, smooth, and oblong, with laying occurring on the floral peduncle.[4] The fully developed larvae measure from 40 mm to 50 mm in length, are curved, white in color, and have a rust-colored head.[5]
Ecology
This pest is one of the main weevils affecting coconut cultivation in Brazil, causing a reduction of around 50% in coconut production.[6] The damage is inflicted by the larvae, which bore tunnels into the floral peduncle, disrupting the sap flow and leading to the drop of flowers and fruits.[7] Adult beetles are also harmful to coconut trees because, when feeding, they tear apart the tissues of new flowers and fruits, causing them to dry out.[8]
