Distribution. – South India, Sri Lanka, Myanmar, Thailand, Vietnam, Laos, Malaysia: Penisular, Sabah and Sarawak; Indonesia: Sumatra, Java, Kalimantan, Sulawesi ( Goecke, 1935; Borowiec, 1984).

Ecology. – Donacia javana has been collected from water lilies of the genus Nymphaea L. ( Nymphaeaceae ) and Nymphoides Séguier ( Menyanthaceae ). Three other species of the subgenus Cyphogaster , [ Donacia lenzi Schoenfeld , D. australasiae Blackburn and D. provostii Fairmaire ] are also known to feed on Nymphaea and other host genera include Brasenia Schreber , Nelumbo Adanson , Nuphar L. and Potamogeton ( Borowiec, 1984; Reid, 1993).

FAMILY CURCULIONIDAE

SUBFAMILY MOLYTINAE

TRIBE BAGOINI

Most species of the curculionid tribe Bagoini are associated with aquatic or semi-aquatic plants that grow floating on, submerged in, or emergent from water. The adults feed and mate on the emergent portions of water-plants and the larvae feed on submerged leaves and stems. The subfamily has a wide distribution with lots of species in the Asian and Australasian region ( O’Brien et al., 1994; Caldara & O’Brien, 1995).
