Eggs and oviposition habits in entimini (Coleoptera: Curculionidae)

The egg stage and oviposition behavior of 15 species of Entimini (Curculionidae: Entiminae) are described. Eggs are illustrated and compared with those of related tribes Sitonini and Alophini. Scanning electron micrographs of the chorion of eight species in these three tribes are provided. The morph...

Zusammenfassung:The egg stage and oviposition behavior of 15 species of Entimini (Curculionidae: Entiminae) are described. Eggs are illustrated and compared with those of related tribes Sitonini and Alophini. Scanning electron micrographs of the chorion of eight species in these three tribes are provided. The morphological diversity of the chorion is evaluated in weevils as a source of phylogenetic and ecological information.
