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). Notes. The citrus root weevil or the diaprepes root weevil. Economic importance. This pest is commonly called ‘the sugar cane root stalk borer weevil. It is a serious pest in Florida and the West Indies, attacking roots of citrus and a wide variety of other plants including many other cultivated trees and shrubs such as avocado Woodruff (1964, 1968, 1985). 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.
