Resumen
ROMO, Alberto y MORRONE, Juan J.. Mexican species of Curculionidae (Insecta: Coleoptera) associated to agaves (Asparagaceae: Agavoideae). Rev. Mex. Biodiv. [online]. 2012, vol.83, n.4, pp.1025-1035. ISSN 2007-8706. https://doi.org/10.7550/rmb.30633.
Weevils (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) associated with agaves (Asparagaceae: Agavoideae) from Mexico are analyzed. Five species were recorded associated with species of Agave, Furcraea, Hesperoyucca, Polianthes, and Yucca. Four of these species belong to the subfamily Dryophthorinae (Scyphophorus acupunctatus, S. yuccae, Rhinostomus frontalis, and Cactophagus spinolae) and 1 belongs to the subfamily Baridinae (Peltophorus polymitus). Diagnoses, illustrations and a key are presented for identifying the 5 species of weevils found on agaves. The following synonymies are established: Sphenophorus validus LeConte, 1858 = Cactophagus spinolae (Gyllenhal, 1838); and Zygops polymitus seminiveus LeConte, 1884, Z. p. leopardinus Desbrochers, 1891, and Z. p. suffusus Casey, 1892 = Peltophorus polymitus Boheman, 1845.
