Abstract

The weevil Trichobaris bridwelli Barber is a natural enemy of jimsonweed (Datura stramonium L.) in the southern United States. The temporal distribution of all life stages showed that T. bridwelli is bivoltine in central Texas and overwinters principally in the adult stage inside the seed capsules of jimsonweed.

Abstract

The North American genus Eisonyx LeConte is revised. Most collecting records are from Texas, although specimens have been taken from isolated localities in the eastern United States and a single questionable locality in Veracruz, Mexico. Selected structures for species of Eisonyx are illustrated by line drawings and scanning electron micrographs.
