Research Abstract

Flower-visiting beetles of primitive plants such as cycads, palms and magnollids were surveyed extensively for the first time, and their useful pollinators were elucidated as follows. Curculionid (Molytinae) and belid (Oxycoryninae) weevils are useful pollinators for cycads in the Old and New World tropics, respectively. Acalyptine and Derelomine curculionid weevils are for palms in the tropical Asia and other parts of the world, respectively. Ochyromerine and Ellescine curculionid weevils are for magnollids in Northern Hemisphere including tropical Asia and Southern Hemisphere, respectively. The fact that most of them were undescribed species or representing new genera indicates how they have been unexplored and unrecognized their existence for long in spite of the useful plants such as coconut and sugar palms.
