Distribution. Barbados, Dominica, Guadeloupe, Guana, Hispaniola, Martinique, Mona, Montserrat, Puerto Rico, St. Croix, St. Lucia, St. Vincent ; widespread Antilles endemic. USA (FL, introduced, first reported in 1964). Economic importance. The citrus root weevil or the diaprepes root weevil. The species is a serious pest in Florida and the West Indies, attacking roots of Citrus View in CoL and a wide variety of plants including many other cultivated trees and shrubs such as avocado ( Lapointe 2000). Woodruff (1964, 1968, 1985) reports that this weevil is commonly called ‘the sugar cane root stalk borer weevil’ or ‘vaquita’ in Puerto Rico. It is also a pest in the French Antilles ( Mauleon and Mademba-Sy 1988). Ulmer et al. (2006) report on the parasitoids of the weevil’s eggs on St. Lucia . Adults feed on leaves and larvae bore into the roots of plants.
