Odontopus brevirostris (Hustache,1936) (Coleoptera, Curculionidae) associated with new host plants belonging to Annona (Annonaceae)
Revista Brasileira de Entomologia 46 (3), 431-432
Abstract: Odontopus brevirostris (Hustache, 1936) feeding on Annona squamosa L., A. cherimola Mill., A. glabra L., and A. muricata L. was observed. The last three host plants are recorded for the first time. The endophitic oviposition occurs in the veins of the ventral surface of the young leaves. The larvae, leaf miners, eat the parenchyma and the adults make small holes in the leaves. The pupation occurs in spherical cocoons protected by a sort of nest (pupation chamber) between the two epidermal layers.
