Eurhinus magnificus, the jewel weevil, is a species of weevil native to Central America.[1][2] The species was originally described by Leonard Gyllenhaal in 1836.[3]
Description
Eurhinus magnificus is brilliantly coloured. Adults are approximately 5–6 mm long and 3–4 mm wide. Its host plant is Cissus verticillata.[4][5]
Range
Early descriptions from 1909 indicate that Eurhinus magnificus does not extend south of Nicaragua,[1] however observations aggregated in GBIF suggest that the species moved more south towards Panama.[3] According to the same records, the species has also been observed in Florida. The species might have been introduced to Florida through banana shipments from Costa Rica.[5]
