SP - 1 EP - 11 KW - Chalcodermus AB - A new species of weevil of the subfamily Molytinae from Mexico, Chalcodermus persimilis O'Brien, is described herein. The genus is redescribed and C. persimilis is illustrated with habitus photos and line drawings of its male genitalia. Similar illustrations are included of C. radiatus Champion and C. serripes Fahraeus, both of which resemble C. persimilis. Adults and larvae of the Mexican weevil, C. persimilis feed on seeds of Mimosa pigra Linnaeus, a noxious weed in Australia and Southeast Asia. Oviposition preferences, adult feeding preferences and larval development of C. persimilis were determined for a selected group of legume plant species. Adults feed and oviposit on several species of Mimosaceae. Larvae develop into normal adults on several of these species. The host range of this species is too broad to be considered as a biological control agent of Mimosa pigra.

G. A1 - Lanteri, A. A. SP - 307 EP - 315 KW - Hadropus AB - Hadropus Schoenherr, 1826 is a monotypic genus of Naupactini (Curculionidae: Entiminae), ranging in Brazil and Paraguay. It is easily recognized by the nebulose pattern of the elytral vestiture, the presence of very short rostrum and humped elytra with strongly bisinuate anterior margin. The morphological characters of the rostrum, antennae, legs, elytra and female genitalia relate Hadropus to Ericydeus Pascoe. Hadropus albiceris (Germar) shows variation in body size, morphometrics of the pronotum and color of the scaly vestiture, that allows distinguishing two basic morphotypes. This paper includes descriptions of the genus and its single species, habitus photographs, line drawings of genitalia, and a map of distribution.

Three new species are described (P. championi, P. cibriani, and P. mexicanus) and P. guatemaltecus Voss is reported for the first time from Mexico. The genus and the 2 previously described species, P. guatemaltecus Voss and P. zitacuarense Sleeper, are redescribed. A key to the 5 species is included and all species are illustrated using habitus photographs and line drawings of the male phallus and the female 8th sternite and spermatheca. Diagnoses are included for each species and comparisons are made with selected Mexican species and, where applicable, with the 3 species of Pissodes known only from El Salvador. All 5 species have been associated with Pinus. Additional biological information is presented for each when known. Pissodes cibriani and P. zitacuarense are potentially economically important pests in plantations of Christmas trees. Pissodes is the sole generic representative of the Pissodini in the New World. Laccoproctus Schoenherr is transferred to the Molytinae, Anchonini, Cycloterina; Dorytomorpha Hustache is transferred to the Molytinae, Conotrachelini, near Conotrachelus Dejean; and Catiline Champion is transferred from the Ceratopodinae to the Molytinae, Conotrachelini near Dorytomorpha and Conotrachelus. Two species are transferred from Catiline and are now Dorytomorpha elongata (Hustache) NEW COMBINATION and Dorytomorpha tuberculata (Hustache) NEW COMBINATION.
