USA (FL, introduced, first reported in 1964). Notes and economic importance. The citrus root weevil or the diaprepes root weevil. This pest is also commonly called ‘the sugar cane root stalk borer weevil. It is a serious pest in Florida and the West Indies, attacking roots of citrus and a wide variety of other plants including many other cultivated trees and shrubs such as avocado ( Woodruff 1964, 1968, 1985). It is also a pest in the French Antilles (Mauleon and Mademba- Sy 1988). Ulmer et al. (2006) report on the parasitoids of the weevil’s eggs on St. Lucia. Adults feed on leaves and larvae bore into the roots of plants. Lapointe (2000) reviews the agricultural importance of beetles in this genus.
