Pityophthorus regularis Blackman View in CoL ( Coleoptera : Curculionidae )

( Fig. 6 View Fig )

Diagnosis: Distinguished by its small size (1.2 mm), concentric rows of asperities in the pronotum, and evenly convex elytral declivity.

Distribution: Caribbean: Cuba (Cienfuegos Province).

Hosts: Blackman gives no host information when describing this species. Mangifera ( Anacardiaceae ) is recorded as host by Vázquez et al. (2003).

Notes: Similar to Pityophthorus concentralis Eichhoff ( Coleoptera : Curculionidae ) present in Cuba and Florida, and known from Metopium sp ( Anacardiaceae ), but differs in the declivity which is distinctly impressed in P. concentralis .
