Scolytus amygdali Guérin-Méneville, 1847 View in CoL
Material examined: 4 ex., Çermik, 9.6.2003. Host plants of larva: Amygdalus , Prunus, Melanchier, Mespilus ( Stark 1952) .
Distribution: North Africa, South Europe, Caucasus, Asia Minor ( Stark 1952).
Remarks: This species is obligate on Rosaceae , including almond.
As a result 54 species from the superfamily Curculionoidea ( Rhynchitidae - 2, Brentidae - 20, Curculionidae - 30 and Scolytidae - 2) have been collected from almond ( Amygdalus communis ). Even though 54 species are found on almond trees, most of these do not feed on almond. Only nine of these species feed on almond trees, and among these nine species, four feed on the fruit ( Tatianaerhynchites aequatus , Epirhynchites smyrnensis , Anthonomus amygdale, A. variabilis ), two on the wood ( Scolytus rugulosus and S. amygdali ) and three on the leaves ( Phyllobius sp. , Polydrusus roseiceps , Myllocerus damascenus ).
