Variation

Beyond variation in colouration (two colour morphs: green with green with pink/coppery head and legs or completely white to pale brown; see Figs 1 , 3 ) and size (8-15 mm), the morphology of C. auricephalus is fairly homogeneous across the distributional range of the species in the U.S. The morphology of both the male (Fig. 6 ) and female (Fig. 7 ) genitalia is also highly conserved within the species with no noticeable differences between colour morphs, which confirms their conspecificity.

Champion (1911) highlighted that specimens from southern populations (e.g. Southern Mexico (Acapulco), Guatemala, Costa Rica, Nicaragua and Panama) were uniformly white, had a more elongate body, more produced and acuminate elytral apices and strongly costate alternating interstriae. We studied specimens with these features (Fig. 8 A-B) from Costa Rica, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua and Panama, including specimens studied by Champion himself; we also dissected three specimens from Panama (Fig. 8 C-E). In general, the specimens, considered by Champion as a variety of C. auricephalus , are externally similar to the northern white form and have overall similar male genitalia, but differ clearly by the following characters: brighter white colouration (Fig. 8 A, B; as opposed to pearly white to pale brown), cylindrical pronotum (Fig. 8 A; as opposed to trapezoid in C. auricephalus , see Fig. 3 A), conspicuously strongly costate interstriae (in comparison with moderately elevated in C. auricephalus ), angulate elytral declivity (Fig. 8 B; as opposed to broadly rounded in C. auricephalus , see Fig. 3 B) and acuminate elytral apices (Fig. 8 B; as opposed to rounded in C. auricephalus , see Fig. 3 B). Furthermore, there are evident differences in the shape of the median lobe: median lobe pre-apically widened (Fig. 8 C; as opposed to parallel-sided throughout as in C. auricephalus , Fig. 6 D); in lateral view, median lobe weakly and rather evenly curved (Fig. 8 D; as opposed to broadly and strongly curved basad of mid length, in C. auricephalus , Fig. 6 E), greatest width uniform along median three-fifths (Fig. 8 D; as opposed to greatest width uniform along second third, in C. auricephalus , Fig. 6 E); in dorsal view, gonopore pear-shaped (Fig. 8 C; as opposed to oval, as in C. auricephalus , Fig. 6 D); basal endophallite complex with different configuration (compare Fig. 8 E to Fig. 6 G).

Based on this character combination (external and male genitalia), we conclude that Compsus auricephalus proper extends as far south as Zacapa, Guatemala (CMNEN00019741) and specimens of the Champion (1911) series housed at the BMNH from Costa Rica (Boca del Limón - BMNH(E)1722205; Cangrejal del Aserri - BMNH(E)1722203), Guatemala (Vera Paz - BMNH(E)1722199); Nicaragua (Chontates - BMNH(E)1722202), Panama ( Peñas Blancas - BMNH(E)1722207; BMNH(E)1722197; Caldera - BMNH(E)1722204) do not correspond to Compsus auricephalus , but to a different species of Compsus that may or may not be described with a different name. The Acapulco, Mexico specimen, identified by Champion as part of this variety of C. auricephalus (BMNH(E)1722200), is here confirmed to belong to C. auricephalus proper. Specimen codes and associated data can be found in Suppl. material 1.

Until more studies can be performed on a broader representation, both across the geographic range and number of specimens of Champion's variety, along with a revision of a larger sample of Compsus species, we refer to this variety as Compsus aff. auricephalus as defined by Champion (1911) and refrain from naming it as new, given that, even though we have made comparisons with some similarly-looking species, we have not seen all the white species of Compsus , nor have we been able to dissect the ones we have examined externally.

Distribution

The distributional information for C. auricephalus was summarised by O'Brien and Wibmer (1982). The distributional data gathered here are mapped in Fig. 9 . The updated distribution is as follows:

Compsus auricephalus : Guatemala, Mexico, U.S.A.: Alabama (new record), Arizona (new record), Arkansas, Colorado, Florida (new record; one specimen with incomplete data: just "FLA." on label, USNM, needs confirmation), Georgia (one specimen with incomplete data: just "GA" on label, USNM, needs confirmation), Illinois ( Blatchley 1925 [overlooked by O'Brien and Wibmer 1982]), Kentucky (new record), Louisiana, Mississippi, New Mexico (new record), Ohio (new record; incomplete data: just "Ohio" on label, USNM, needs confirmation), Oklahoma ( Fenton 1944 [overlooked by O'Brien and Wibmer 1982]), Tennessee (new record), Texas, Utah (new record). Canada: Ontario (intercepted at port of entry; McNamara 1991).

Compsus aff. auricephalus : Costa Rica, Honduras (new record), Nicaragua, Panama.

Comments on current distribution of Compsus auricephalus . According to our specimen examination, C. auricephalus occurs north of Zacapa, Guatemala, as far west in the U.S. as Cedar City, Utah and Phoenix, Arizona, as far north as Ohio and as far east to Georgia and Florida. Most of the records are concentrated around Brownsville, Texas and along the Mississippi River. Across the U.S.A., the distribution of C. auricephalus seems to be associated with commodities such as cotton plantations (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cotton_production_in_the_United_States). There seems to be no geographic pattern of green/white colour morphs.

Records for Florida, Georgia and Ohio (eastern outliers) are represented by single specimens with minimal information: "FLA.", "Ga." and "Ohio", respectively. We report these records here, but highlight that they need confirmation, as these might be cases of interceptions at ports of entry (e.g. Florida), incomplete information (e.g. there is an "Ohio" locality in Hamilton Co., Texas, which is in the area where the species has been recorded) or just mislabelling.

Western outliers (Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico and Utah) are represented by either records from literature (see O'Brien and Wibmer 1982) or single specimens in collections. Given that there are unique records for each of these occurrences and, even though they have more detailed collecting information (see GBIF dataset at https://doi.org/10.15468/dl.rat633 and Suppl. material 1), they may be adventitious (e.g. transported with plants from elsewhere) and not part of actual established populations of the species in those regions. Data from local collections, as well as more sampling from those areas, would be required to confirm the presence of C. auricephalus in those States.

As for Compsus aff. auricephalus , it is known to occur from Yoro, Honduras, south to the Canal Zone in Panama (Fig. 9 ).

Ecology

Compsus auricephalus has been collected in palmetto thickets and woods ( Blatchley and Leng 1916) and, according to label data, on vegetation along roads, on prairies and using a variety of methods (beating, blacklights, flight intercept traps, malaise traps, pitfall traps, sweeping, manual capture). The species has been found at elevations from sea level up to 1200 m, with most specimens collected below 100 m.

Associated plants

Host plant records were recovered from literature, as well as from label data from specimens in collections. Host specificity in broad-nosed weevils is difficult to assess, given that the presence of adults on a particular plant does not necessarily mean that feeding occurred ( Kissinger 1964). A summary including 46 plant species in 23 families is presented in Table 1 .

Biology

According to Blatchley and Leng (1916), citing Pierce (1916), Compsus auricephalus "lays its eggs in a mass of gummy substance on leaves and folds a portion on the leaf over them so that they are perfectly concealed. [...] The eggs hatch in seven or eight days and the larvae enter the ground to feed on the roots of plants." This behaviour matches Howden's oviposition category 9: eggs and adhesive placed in fabricated or discovered niches, usually without use of rostrum, which is typical of most "Adelognatha" ( Howden 1995). "The larvae are typical legless, C-shaped, white to translucent grubs that feed on roots in soil [...] adults are collected in June and July in southern Texas ( Headrick 2014).

According to Headrick (2014), damage caused by C. auricephalus on Citrus is significant in Texas; most of the damage is associated with the underground larval stages which open the door for Phytophthora ( Oomycota) infections to the trees; the habits of the larvae make control measures difficult and costly. In addition, C. auricephalus has been reported to damage young cotton plants in Arkansas, Oklahoma, Tennessee and Texas ( Agricultural Research Service, United States Department of Agriculture 1978).

As for natural enemies, Tetrastichus compsivorus Crawford, 1914 ( Hymenoptera : Chacidoidea , Crawford 1914) has been recorded from eggs of C. auricephalus in Oklahoma ( Crawford 1914), as well as from Texas, Mississipi ( Krombein et al. 1979) and Nicaragua ( Maes and O'Brien 1990). There are mentions of Gray Grosbeak ( Pyrrhuloxia sinuata ) and Cardinal ( Cardinalis cardinalis ) feeding on miscellaneous beetles including C. auricephalus ( McAtee 1908).

Barcode data

Molecular data from the mitochondrial gene Cytochrome Oxidase subunit I (COI) was obtained for the specimen identified as USNMENT01070595 (see Suppl. material 1). The sequence of 361 bp is identified with the GenBank number MN344151.1 (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/nuccore/1770599749).

Taxon discussion

Due to its variation in size and colouration (two main colour morphs: predominantly green with pink/coppery head and part of the legs or completely white to pale brown), Compsus auricephalus can be confused with a number of eustyline species from Central and South America, not only with other Compsus species, but with species of other genera in the Compsus genus complex in South America and even species in the Exophthalmus genus complex in Central America. Colouration patterns alone partly overlap with at least a dozen different species; in these instances, particularities of the colouration pattern (e.g. colouration of legs and/or elytra) along with characters of the elytral sculpture allow for differentiation. Here, we illustrate and discuss some characters useful for distinguishing C. auricephalus from look-alike species.

Compsus adonis Marshall, 1922 ( Marshall 1922) is a brightly-coloured species with the head, anterior margin of the pronotum, apical region of elytra and outer surfaces of the tibia covered with pink scales, with the elytra, remainder of prothorax and elytra and femora mostly green; the apices of the femora and the tarsi are covered by blue scales and the elytra have irregular areas covered by white scales blending in with the general green coverage (Fig. 10 B). This very particular colouration pattern is quite different from the colourations exhibited by C. auricephalus . In addition, the less regularly distributed elytral punctation, along with the irregularly-elevated surface of the elytra and projected elytral apices in C. adonis further allows its recognition. Compsus adonis is endemic to Colombia ( Wibmer and O'Brien 1986).

Compsus albus Hustache, 1938 ( Hustache 1938) shares many of the characteristics present in specimens of the white form of C. auricephalus , as well as with C. aff. auricephalus , as defined by Champion (1911): body covered by uniformly-white scales, costate interstriae 3, 5 and 7, acuminate elytral apices with regularly-aligned elytral punctures. The holotype of this species has a shiny lustre throughout (Fig. 10 I). Compsus albus can be differentiated by the lack of a medial sulcus along the rostrum, which is present in C. auricephalus (compare Fig. 10 I vs. Figs 2 , 3 A, C). Compsus candidus is similar to C. albus , both species being endemic to Colombia ( Wibmer and O'Brien 1986).

In Compsus bellus Hustache, 1938 ( Hustache 1938), the head and distal parts of the legs are covered by coppery/pink scales just as in the green form of C. auricephalus . Compsus bellus can be recognised by its combined green and white thorax and elytra, where the elytra have a broad white medial longitudinal stripe (Fig. 10 C; as opposed to either uniformly-green or uniformly-white thorax and elytra in C. auricephalus , see Figs 1 , 3 ) and by the strongly-projected elytral apices (Fig. 10 C; apex of elytra not projected in C. auricephalus , see Fig. 3 A). In addition, there are no conspicuously-elevated interstria along the elytra in C. bellus . Even though C. bellus is currently considered a junior synonym of C. adonis , by comparing both holotypes, beyond the evident differences in colouration (compare Fig. 10 8B vs. Fig. 10 C), the elytral punctation and the length of the apical elytral projections suggest that these are, in fact, different species, although, until more detailed studies, including dissections of male and female genitalia can be performed, we refrain from making any taxonomic changes at this time. Compsus bellus is endemic to Colombia ( Wibmer and O'Brien 1986).

Compsus divisus Hustache, 1938 ( Hustache 1938) has the head and entire legs (except the tarsi) covered by pink scales, with bluish-green scales covering thorax and elytra; it also has part of the odd-numbered elytral interstriae elevated. The round eyes in lateral view of the head, along with the presence of an elevated, glabrous and smooth longitudinal ridge along the head and rostrum would allow the recognition of C. divisus ; this longitudinal ridge suggests that this species may actually be better placed in the genus Exophthalmus ( Franz 2012, Zhang and Franz 2015). Compsus divisus is endemic to Colombia ( Wibmer and O'Brien 1986).

Compsus exanguis (Boheman, 1833) ( Schönherr 1833) is generally similar to the white form of C. auricephalus , except for the conspicuous thick setae uniformly distributed all over the surface of the body and the presence of green scales at midpoint of the anterior margin of the pronotum, scattered through the antennae, at the apex of the tibiae and along the tarsi (Fig. 10 L). Compsus divisus is endemic to Peru ( Wibmer and O'Brien 1986).

Compsus lacteus (Fabricius, 1781) ( Fabricius 1781) has variable colour morphs within the same colour range as C. auricephalus (i.e. green and white colour forms); however, the head is never pink and the legs and antennae are always distally blue (Fig. 10 G, H). Compsus lacteus has strongly-projected eyes, projected elytral apices and conspicuous setae along the surface of the prothorax and elytra, which differentiates it from C. auricephalus . Compsus lacteus is distributed in Brazil, French Guiana, Guadeloupe and Jamaica ( O'Brien and Wibmer 1982, Wibmer and O'Brien 1986).

Compsus sulcicollis Hustache, 1938 ( Hustache 1938) has the head covered by coppery/pink scales, with the legs covered by light green and blue scales; the thorax and elytra are uniformly covered by light green scales; the surface of elytral interstriae 3 is elevated only along the elytral declivity in C. sulcicollis and the apices of the elytra are strongly projected (Fig. 10 F); these features allow its differentiation from C. auricephalus . Compsus sulcicollis is endemic to Venezuela ( Wibmer and O'Brien 1986).

Compsus violaceus Hustache, 1938 ( Hustache 1938) follows the general pink head/green body pattern of the green form of C. auricephalus ; however, the rostrum of C. violaceus is covered by pink scales, while the frons and mid-anterior section of the pronotum are covered by purple scales; the remainder of the pronotum and anterior half of the elytra are covered by pale green scales, the posterior half of the elytra are covered mostly by white scales and the legs are covered completely by iridescent green scales (Fig. 10 E). In addition, the overall body shape of C. violaceus is pyriform (Fig. 10 E), as opposed to subrectangular as in C. auricephalus (Fig. 3 A). Compsus violaceus is endemic to Colombia ( Wibmer and O'Brien 1986).

Compsus virginalis Faust, 1892 ( Faust 1892) is generally similar to the white form of C. auricephalus and more so to C. aff. auricephalus , as defined by Champion (1911), as it is uniformly covered by white scales, has cylindrical prothorax and acuminate elytral apices. It can be distinguished by its somewhat irregular elytral punctation and irregularly-elevated elytral surface (Fig. 10 M; as opposed to having costate odd-numbered elytral interstriae). Compsus virginalis is endemic to Venezuela ( Wibmer and O'Brien 1986).

Exophthalmus carneipes Champion, 1911 ( Champion 1911), E. cupreipes Champion, 1911 ( Champion 1911), E. opulentus Boheman, 1840 ( Schönherr 1840) and E. vitticollis Champion, 1911 ( Champion 1911) are generally similar to the green form of C. auricephalus , all of them being predominantly covered by green scales with the head covered by pink scales. The legs fully covered by pink scales and the presence of an elevated, glabrous and smooth longitudinal ridge along the head and rostrum clearly differentiate C. auricephalus from these Exophthalmus species. In addition, E. carneipes , which is distributed in Costa Rica, Honduras and Panama ( O'Brien and Wibmer 1982), has transverse bands of pink scales along the elytral shoulders and elytral apices, (see https://www.inaturalist.org/taxa/874484- Exophthalmus - carneipes ). On the other hand, E. cupreipes , which is endemic to Mexico ( O'Brien and Wibmer 1982), has a more elongated rostrum and its scales are green with golden tones ( Bautista-Martínez et al. 2020), very similar to E. opulentus from Guatemala and Mexico ( O'Brien and Wibmer 1982); these two species can be differentiated by the fully pink head in E. opulentus (https://www.inaturalist.org/taxa/269236- Exophthalmus - opulentus ), whereas the head of E. cupreipes has green lateral areas. Exopthalmus vitticollis , from Belize and Guatemala ( O'Brien and Wibmer 1982) can be recognised by the presence of a pink median longitudinal stripe along the pronotum (https://www.inaturalist.org/taxa/1073743- Exophthalmus - vitticollis ).

Oxyderces cinereus (Hustache, 1938) ( Hustache 1938) is generally similar to the white form of C. auricephalus , especially because of its elevated odd-numbered elytral interstriae. It differs by the pyriform shape of the body and the greyish colouration of the scales covering the head and the mid and lateral lines of the pronotum, along with the presence of a pair of relatively-large dark spots about mid-length on the elytra (Fig. 10 N). Oxyderces cinereus is endemic to Ecuador ( Wibmer and O'Brien 1986).

Oxyderces cretaceus (Fabricius, 1792) ( Fabricius 1792) is similar to the white form of Compsus auricephalus and nearly identical to C. aff. auricephalus , as defined by Champion (1911). The sculpture of the pronotum with three basal foveae, the tubercles of interstriae 3 at elytral declivity and the apical projections of the elytra clearly distinguish O. cretaceus (Fig. 10 J). Oxyderces cretaceus has been recorded from Guadeloupe and Martinique ( O'Brien and Wibmer 1982). Records of " Compsus auricephalus " in iNaturalist from Trinidad and Tobago (https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/32103921) may actually correspond to O. cretaceus , but the available specimen photographs do not allow its confirmation.

Oxyderces exaratus (Hustache, 1938) ( Hustache 1938) is similar to the green form of Compsus auricephalus , in the presence of pink scales covering the head and green scales covering most of the body. They differ mostly by the presence of blue scales covering the antennae and tarsi and by the rounded projections of the elytral apices which are covered by pink scales (Fig. 10 D). In addition, the surface of the elytra is irregularly elevated in O. exaratus , in contrast with the elevated odd-numbered elytral interstriae typical of C. auricephalus (see Fig. 3 A). Oxyderces exaratus is endemic to Colombia ( Wibmer and O'Brien 1986).

Oxyderces mansuetus Hustache, 1938 ( Hustache 1938) is similar to the white form of Compsus auricephalus , differing by the deep punctation of both pronotum and elytra, resulting in irregularly-elevated elytral surface, especially along the posterior half of elytra in O. mansuetus (Fig. 10 K). In addition, O. mansuetus has strongly projected eyes and acuminate elytral apices (Fig. 10 K) and is endemic to Argentina ( Wibmer and O'Brien 1986).

Oxyderces viridipes Boheman, 1840 ( Schönherr 1840) is a species with a very similar colouration pattern to the green form of Compsus auricephalus , especially because of the pink colouration of the head. The fully green legs and white longitudinal band along the elytral interstriae 1 and 2, along with the sculpture of the elytra lacking elevated interstriae (Fig. 10 A), clearly distinguish O. viridipes , which is endemic to Colombia ( Wibmer and O'Brien 1986), quite common in Medellín and surrounding areas (see https://www.inaturalist.org/observations?taxon_id=869547). Oxyderces viridipes has been found domestically in Pennsylvania and California (https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/6246529) and intercepted at south-eastern ports of entry in the U.S.A.
