Cyrtomon sp. (Schönherr, 1823) - Cyrtomon Broad-Nosed Weevil
The Elephant's Missing Tusk
Description: During a study, paired adults of Cyrtomon weevils began to mate two days after emergence, proceeding to mate repeatedly and with increased frequency as they aged. Chemical communication in Cyrtomon weevils is likely mediated by an aggregation pheromone produced by males, which is the most active sex in the mating system. Cyrtomon weevils' host plants often include Solanaceae like Duboisia sp..
Feeding type: Herbivorous.
