Eucorynus crassicornis (Fabricius)

NEW STATE RECORD

An adult weevil emerged from a Chinese imported garlic bulb purchased from an Oahu supermarket in 2010. According to G.A. Samuelson, a single specimen was turned in to him by W.D. Perreira previous to this collection, in 2005. Additional adults have been found at large in homes that had similar Chinese imported garlic bulbs sitting out on countertops. Specimens have also been found at large associated with Pritchardia palms and rotting Cassia . G.A. Samuelson sent one specimen to Barry Valentine to confirm the identification.
