| : | Pacholenus pelliceus Boheman, 1836 was collected in restinga of Barra de Marica, Marica, Rio de Janeiro State, Brazil, and reported for the first time as a stem gall-former. Galls were found on Gomidesia martiana Berg. and G. fenzliana Berg. (Myrtaceae). Some ecological aspects of weevils and galls are discussed. The full-grown larva is described and illustrated, based on reared specimens. Comparisons with other described larvae of Molytinae are made, corroborating the inclusion of Pacholenini within the Molytinae. |
