Euwallacea Hopkins ( Coleoptera : Curculionidae )

Species within Euwallacea ( Coleoptera : Curculionidae ) are distinguished by the subquadrate pronotum (subcircular in some species) and elevated posterolateral margins of the declivity (forming a sharp ridge or costa). This genus became relevant in the last decade due to the invasive species Euwallacea fornicatus (Eichhoff) , Euwallacea kuroshio Gomez & Hulcr , and Euwallacea perbrevis (Schedl) (all Coleoptera : Curculionidae ), causing severe damage in their native and introduced environments ( Mendel et al. 2012; Owens et al. 2018; Paap et al. 2018).
