Hylobius aliradicis Warner, 1966

Collection information.

USA: Georgia: Clarke Co.: a single individual from one site. Caught in flight trap from 6–19 May 2020.

Distribution.

Southeastern United States.

Saproxylic habits.

Larvae develop in the roots of young, dying slash pines ( Pinus elliottii Engelm.), and have been collected from pine bolts (Warner 1966); although Warner (1966) suggests that the larvae were the primary cause of tree death, more recent work suggests that H. Aliradicis and related pine weevils principally colonize already stressed trees (Helbig et al. 2016).
