“…Due to the mining behavior, palm leaflets are severely damaged and produce lower yields (Ruer 1964) by as much as a 30% reduction (Simmonds 1970). The biology, life cycle and enemy complex are well-documented for Coelaenomenodera (Coelaenomenodera) elaeidis (see Maulik 1920; Cotterell 1925; Waterston 1925; Cachan 1957; Morin and Mariau 1970, 1971, 1974; Mariau and Morin 1971, 1972, 1974; Mariau 1976, 1999; Mariau et al 1978; Bernon and Graves 1979; Philippe et al 1979; Mariau and Philippe 1983; Philippe 1990; Timti 1991; Mariau et al 1999a), Coelaenomenodera (Coelaenomenodera) lameensis Berti and Mariau (see Berti and Mariau 1999; Mariau and Lecoustre 2000, 2004; Mariau 2001), Coelaenomenodera (Coelaenomenodera) perrieri Fairmaire (Mariau 1988, 2001; Lecoustre et al 1980), and Coelaenomenodera (Coelaenomenodera) speciosa Gestro (Uhmann 1961; Santiago-Blay 2004). These provide a model for research on other coelaenomenoderine species which might pose pests of economically-valuable palms.…”

Members of the Old World hispine tribe, Coelaenomenoderini, are documented on host plants of Arecaceae, Cyperaceae, and Zingiberales. A few species are renowned pests of oil palm, especially in Africa. The host plants and natural history of Javeta pallida Baly, 1858, the only Indian species of the tribe, is reported for the first time. These beetles can densely infest indigenous wild date palms, Phoenix sylvestris (L.) Roxb. (Arecaceae), and also use the introduced date palm, Phoenix dactylifera L., which is an expanding crop in India. Javeta females lay single eggs and cover each with an ootheca. All larval stages mine the leaves and pupation occurs within the larval mine. Adults are exophagous, leaving linear feeding trenches. Natural and induced infestations of Javeta pallida on these two palms were observed and the potential of Javeta pallida as a pest of date palm in India is discussed. Javeta pallida completed development on Phoenix palms in 52–88 days (mean 66.38 days) with egg period 11–15 days (mean 12.8 days), larval period 21–54 days (mean 33.02 days) and pupal period 17–23 days (mean 20.52 days). Elasmus longiventris Verma and Hayat and Pediobius imbreus Walker (Hymenoptera: Eulophidae) parasitize the larva and pupa of Javeta pallida.

The species of the Neotropical genus Cephaloleia Chevrolat, 1836 are revised. We present a key to the known larvae of Cephaloleia (8 species), a key to the 95 species known to occur in Mexico, Central America and the West Indies, and a key to the 138 species known to occur in South America. All identification keys were translated to Spanish. Descriptions for the 214 known species of Cephaloleia as well as illustrations for 212 species are presented. The following species are removed from Cephaloleia: C. bipartita Pic, 1926c is transferred to Hybosispa Weise, 1910; C. minasensis Pic, 1931 and C. viridis Pic, 1931 are transferred to Stenispa Baly, 1858. The following species are described as new: C. abdita sp. n. from Brazil; C. amba sp. n. from Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru; C. angustacollis sp. n. from Ecuador; C. brevis sp. n. from French Guiana; C. calathae sp. n. from Costa Rica; C. chica sp. n. from Peru; C. conforma sp. n. from Costa Rica; C. crenulata sp. n. from Ecuador; C. gemma sp. n. from Bolivia and Brazil; C. horvitzae sp. n. from French Guiana; C. interrupta sp. n. from Costa Rica; C. kressi sp. n. from Costa Rica; C. lenticula sp. n. from Ecuador, French Guiana, Peru, and Suriname; C. nana sp. n. from Ecuador; C. ochra sp. n. from Ecuador; C. stainesi sp. n. from Costa Rica; and C. susanae sp. n. from Brazil and Ecuador. Cephaloleia simoni Pic, 1934 is treated as Incertae sedis. The larvae of C. erichsonii Baly, 1858 and C. puncticollis Baly, 1885 are described and illustrated.

“…Cunaxids occur in most terrestrial habitats, including soil and leaf litter (Den Heyer 1977a, Luxton 1982; Javan et al 2012); moss and lichen (Sepasgosarian 1984, Tseng 1980); on vegetation (Miller 1925, Swift and Goff 2001, Ferla and Moraes 2002) including coniferous trees (Lehman 1982), tropical trees (Castro and Moraes 2007) including guava trees (Mallikarjunappa and Nageshchandra 1990), Ferla and Moraes 2002), mango trees (Mohamed et al 2014), coconut trees (Mariau and Biggins 2001; da Silva et al 2014), and rubber trees (Hernandes and Feres 2006), ornamental plants (Tagore and Putatunda 2003), invasive weeds (Walter 1999), agricultural plants such as citrus trees (Muma 1960, Olivier 1968, Ramsey et al 1972a, Soliman and Mahfood 1978, Vacante and Nucifora 1986, Quilici et al 1997, Grout and Ueckermann 1999, Ferla and Moraes 2002, Fadamiro et al 2009), deciduous fruit trees (Nesbitt 1946, Garman 1948, Lord 1949, Ramsey et al 1972b, Quilici et al 1997, Ferla and Moraes 1998, Ferla and Moraes 2002; Shakhsi Zare et al 2012), cotton (Kuznetzov and Sizova 1978), strawberries (Ferla et al 2007), grape vineyards (Schruft 1971, Jubb et al 1985, Molnar 1997), alfalfa fields (Badieritakis et al 2014), and plants in urban settings (Lahiri et al 2004); vertebrate nests (Garman 1948, Gupta and Chattopadhyay 1978, Gupta and Paul 1985, Estebanes-Gonzales 1997); caves (Cooreman 1954, Turk 1972, Zacharda 1978); animal debris (Corpuz Raros et al 1988, Taha et al 1988); tree holes (Atyeo 1958, Lin and Zhang 2002); house dust (Oliveria and Daemon 2003); and stored food products (Huges 1976, Tseng 1980, Fan 1992). Individual species, however, are thought to be restricted to a particular habitat.…”
