| : | Larvae of Conorhynchus hololeucus (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Lixinae) construct a trehalalike capsule for the immature stages. The host plant is Atriplex sp. (Caryophyllales: Amaranthaceae), and this weevil species is a new record for Turkey. Adults feed on leaves; females lay eggs in root neck of host plants; larvae make an external trehala-like capsule on the root; pupation and adult emergence occur in the capsule. This weevil produces one generation per year. |
