Figures

Figures 2–22. Morphological, biological, and ecological comparison of the genera and subgenera of Macaronesian Cryptorhynchinae along with the respective sections of the tree; (TS) = type species. Figures 4E and 5E show a section of the tree that results when 16S sequences for Aeoniacalles aeonisimilis* and Dendroacalles euphorbiacus* are excluded.

Figures 33–34. Sonchiacalles muelleri has the same larval development, the adults show identical breeding behaviour and the larvae and pupae behave in the same way in the chambers (made of latex and agglutinated small stones) at the root neck of, e.g. Tolpis proustii on El Hierro as Madeiracalles pulverosus in the roots of Tolpis succulenta on Madeira.
