“…Both the high geological age and the disjunct distribution predestinate Araucaria trees for evolutionary biological studies of insect-plant relationships. Today, we know several insect groups restricted in their occurrence to recent Araucariaceae like the leaf beetle subfamily Palophaginae (Megalopodidae), the weevil tribe Araucariini (Cossoninae, Curculionidae) or the bark or ambrosia beetle genera Hylurdrectonus Schedl, 1938, Hylurgonotus Schedl, 1951, Pachycotes Sharp, 1877 and Xylechinosomus Schedl, 1963 (KUSCHEL 1966, KUSCHEL & MAY 1996, MECKE 2000, WOOD 1986). An important question is, if there already existed Araucaria-insect associations before the splitting of Gondwana began and the continents were completely separated and if so, how these insects evolved in their long distant biogeographical regions.…”

Revista Brasileira de Zoologia 21 (3): 505-513, setembro 2004Araucaria Jussieu, 1789 trees, the oldest extant conifers, have an evolutionary history stretching more than 200 Mio years. The 19 recent species of this genus have a disjunct distribution (South America and Oceania) and form, under natural conditions, highly diverse mixed forests in tropical and subtropical regions of the Southern Hemisphere. Both the high geological age and the disjunct distribution predestinate Araucaria trees for evolutionary biological studies of insect-plant relationships.

An overview of the taxa of Rhinorhynchinae (Nemonychidae) is presented. A phylogenetic analysis of the 19 extant genera of the Rhinorhynchinae and one fossil genus from the Lower Cretaceous (Cratomacer Zherikhin & Gratshev), based on 29 characters of adults, larvae and host plant associations, shows three monophyletic groups, treated as tribes (Rhinorhynchini, Mecomacerini and Rhynchitomacerini). Primitive associations are unknown for Rhinorhynchinae and early host use diversification included associations with Ranunculaceae (Nemonyx Redtenbacher), Pinaceae (Cimberis Gozis), Nothofagaceae (Rhynchitomacerini) and Podocarpaceae (Rhinorhynchini). While Mecomacerini diversified on Araucariaceae, within Rhinorhynchini there was a single reversal to Araucariaceae and a shift in Atopomacer Kuschel to Pinaceae. Placement of Cratomacer into Mecomacerini is consistent with geological and molecular data that suggest gymnosperms may have been the primitive hosts for the family. Three new genera are described in Rhinorhynchinae: Araucomacer, gen. nov. (type species A. hirticeps Kuschel) from Chile, Idiomacer, gen. nov. (type species I. basicornis, sp. nov.) from New Caledonia, and Zimmiellus, gen. nov. (type species Z. fronto, sp. nov.) from Queensland, Australia, while Stenomacer Kuschel, stat. nov. from Chile is reinstated from synonymy. Seven species are described as new: Atopomacer grandifurca, sp. nov. from Costa Rica and Panama, A. obrieni, sp. nov. from Mexico, A. panamensis, sp. nov. from Panama, A. pini, sp. nov. from Mexico, A. podocarpi, sp. nov. from Venezuela, Basiliogeus dracrycarpi, sp. nov. from western New Guinea and B. inops, sp. nov. from Queensland. Rhynchitomacer rufus Kuschel is a new junior subjective synonym of R. nigritus Kuschel, syn. nov., R. viridulus Kuschel is a new junior subjective synonym of R. flavus Voss, syn. nov. and Stenomacer fuscus Kuschel is a new junior subjective synonym of S. vernus Kuschel, syn. nov. Keys to genera of Rhinorhynchinae and to species of Atopomacer, Rhynchitomacer and Stenomacer are included. Diagnoses of the three extant subfamilies of Nemonychidae are included.
