Genus Sterculapion Rheinheimer, 1999

Like several Australian members of Sterculapion ( Rheinheimer 1997) , this sole representative of the subfamily Apioninae in Grande Terre is associated with a plant of the former family Sterculiaceae (now in Malvaceae ). Sterculapion bartramiae Rheinheimer, 1999 lives on the autochthonous, but not endemic Commersonia bartramia . This host association has been confirmed by MW in several localities [32–34]. Details of larval development remain unknown.
