However, although Coleopteran insects are of huge ecological and economical interest, endosymbiont molecular analysis is limited to the Dryophthoridae family. Here, we have analyzed the intracellular symbiotic bacteria in 2 Hylobius species belonging to the Molytinae subfamily ( Curculionoidea superfamily) that exhibit different features from the Dryophthoridae insects in terms of their ecology and geographical spanning. Fluorescence in situ hybridization has shown that both Hylobius species harbor rod- shaped pleiomorphic symbiotic bacteria in the oocyte and in the bacteria- bearing organ ( the bacteriome), with a shape and location similar to those of the Dryophthoridae bacteriome. Phylogenetic analysis of the 16S ribosomal DNA gene sequences, using the heterogeneous model of DNA evolution, has placed the Hylobius spp. endosymbionts ( H- group) at the basal position of the ancestral Rclade of Dryophthoridae endosymbionts named Candidatus Nardonella but relatively distant from the S- clade of Sitophilus spp. endosymbionts. Endosymbionts from the H- group and the R- clade evolved more quickly compared with free- living enteric bacteria and endosymbionts from the S- and D- clades of Dryophthoridae. They are AT biased ( 58.3\% A + T), and they exhibit AT- rich insertions at the same position as previously described in the Candidatus Nardonella 16S rDNA sequence. Moreover, the host phylogenetic tree based on the mitochondrial COI gene was shown to be highly congruent with the H- group and the R- clade, the divergence of which was estimated to be around 125 MYA. These new molecular data show that endosymbiosis is old in Curculionids, going back at least to the common ancestor of Molytinae and Dryophthoridae, and is evolutionary stable, except in 2 Dryophthoridae clades, providing additional and independent supplementary evidence for endosymbiont replacement in these taxa.}, keywords = {Dryophthoridae, Hylobius abietis, Hylobius transversovittatus}, isbn = {0737-4038}, author = {Conord, Cyrille and Despres, Laurence and Vallier, Agnes and Balmand, Severine and Miquel, Christian and Zundel, Stephanie and Lemperiere, Guy and Heddi, Abdelaziz} } @article {9958, title = {The weevil beetles (Bhychitidae Rhynchitidae , Attelabidae, Apionidae, Nopophydae Nanophyidae , Dryophthoridae, Curculionidae) of Georgia}, journal = {Zoologiis Institutis Sromebi}, volume = {23}, year = {2008}, month = {2008}, pages = {77-123}, type = {Article}, abstract = {Data about weevil beetles of Georgia have been met since the second part of the xlx century (Proceedings of Kolenati 1859, Schnaider, Leder 1878, Reiter 1916 et al).

In recent years the cultivation of ornamental palms (Arecaceae) has increased markedly in northern Queensland. Consequently, several insects have become important pests, particularly Rhabdoscelus obscurus (Boisduval), the cane weevil borer. The larvae of this beetle feed on various species of palms, making the plants unsaleable. Death or lodging of the trees may also result. This paper documents its pest status, derived from information in the literature and from consultation with lcoal growers.
