Old traps for new weevils: new records for curculionids (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), brentids (Coleoptera: Brentidae) and anthribids (Coleoptera: Anthribidae) from Jefferson Co., Florida
Florida Entomologist 85 (4), 632-644
Abstract: Trapping studies using three different types of traps placed in several wild and cultivated habitats in North Florida (Jefferson Co.) produced 97 different species of adult weevils in the family Curculionidae and the closely related primitive families Anthribidae, Brentidae and Ithyceridae. Sixty-one of 97 species trapped have not been reported previously from Jefferson Co. Furthermore, seven species of Curculionidae are first records for the state, with four of these being important agricultural pests (Hypera meles, H. nigrirostris, H. punctata and Sitona lineatus). In addition, some weevils taken in our traps represent undescribed species of Apteromechus, Cercopeus and Conotrachelus. Herein we include: (1) an alphabetical listing of species collected in these traps, (2) a description and illustration of the traps used, and (3) months of the year and generalized habitats where traps were placed and specimens were collected. Information on host associations is provided for many species.

Estudios de trampeo utilizando tres diferentes tipos de trampas colocadas en áreas cultivadas y silvestres en el norte de Florida (Jefferson Co.) resultaron en la colecta de 97 diferentes especies de curculiónidos pertenecientes a la familia Curculionidae y a las familias primitivas de curculiónidos Anthribidae, Brentidae e Ithyceridae. Sesenta y una de las 97 especies capturadas constituyen primeros reportes para estas especies en el condado de Jefferson. Asimismo, siete de las especies capturadas nunca habian sido reportadas en el estado de Florida y cuatro de ellas son plagas agriculturales de suma importancia (Hypera meles, H. nigrirostris, H. punctata y Sitona lineatus). Adicionalmente, algunas de las especies capturadas representan nuevas especies pertenecientes a los géneros Apteromechus, Cercopeus y Conotrachelus. En este artículo incluimos: (1) un listado alfabético de las especies capturadas en las trampas, (2) la descripción e ilustración de las trampas utilizadas, y (3) los meses del año y descripción de las áreas donde las trampas fueron colocadas y los especimenes colectados. También hemos incluido información sobre las plantas hospederas para muchas de las especies capturadas.
