Biology:Isodacrys

From HandWiki

Isodacrys is a genus of broad-nosed weevils in the beetle family Curculionidae.[1][2][3][4][5] The genus is ranging from the southern United States of America to Honduras.[5]

Natural history

Isodacrys species are distributed from south of the United States of America to Honduras, mainly across Mexican and Central American mountain ranges of ~1500–3100 meters above sea level; some species also occur in lowlands.[5] The adults of Isodacrys are flightless[5] and have been found in Quercus, Pinus and in other plants of different families as Asteraceae, Fabaceae, Rhamnaceae, Cucurbitaceae, Betulaceae, Malvaceae, and Solanaceae. Some adults have been collected from leaf litter and under rocks.[6][5] Immature stages remain unknown.[5]

Species

The Catalogue of Life recognizes 21 Isodacrys species:[2]

Cortés-Hernández and Morrone (2020) list Isodacrys debilis Sharp, 1911 as Isodrusus debilis Sharp, 1911,[5] a taxon that the Catalogue of Life self-inconsistently also accepts.[7] The latter is the original combination.[8]
