REQUEST FOR COOPERATION

I would appreciate receiving alcohol preserved specimens of Sitona hispidulus fromoutside the US for genetic fingerprinting. I would need 50 to 100 weevils to represent eachgeographic population. These should be put into an alcohol concentrate for a day or twoand then transferred to fresh alcohol for shipment. The more concentrated the alcohol thebetter (70-100%). I am also interested in learning of parasites attacking (hopefullyregulating) this pest and in particular of the existence of geographic populations of thebraconid Microctonus aethiopoides . Future plans would be to study the biologicalattributes and genetic diversity of these various geographic populations of M . aethiopoides relative to S . hispidulus suppression.

WEEVILERS GET-TOGETHER IN LAS VEGAS

Weevilers met informally during the Annual Meeting of the Entomological Society ofAmerica in Las Vegas, Nevada in December 1995. "Old timers" present were Don Bright,Wayne Clark, Bob Hamilton, Henry Hespenheide, Anne Howden, Charlie O'Brien, ElbertSleeper, and Barry Valentine. We were happy to introduce two new faces: Louis LaPierre,a student at UCLA who plans to work with Henry Hespenheide on leaf-mining weevils,and Jean Ribardo, Supervisor of the Insectary, Sandoz Agro Inc., in Palo Alto, California.

Anyone interested in weevils who wishes to attend one of these very informal get-togethers at an ESA meeting should feel free to join us. Look for the notice of the time andplace on the bulletin boards at the next meeting.

A NOTE FROM JEAN PERICART

Dear Colleagues:I have given up my work on Curculionidae. Thank you for all you have done by

maintaining contact between all weevil students.

CURATION AND FIELD WORK IN COSTA RICA

From February 5-23, 1996, I was in Costa Rica at the invitation of their InstitutoNacional de Biodiversidad (INBio) to both sort specimens in their collections as well ascarry out field work. While there, I spent 6 days in the INBio collections sortingmiscellaneous Curculionidae to tribe, genus and species (where possible). This follows anearlier trip made in May of 1995 at which time I also spent 4 days sorting weevils. Whilethere is still much more work to be done in the collections there, at least now over 90drawers of fully unsorted Costa Rican Curculionidae have been sorted to the best of my on-site capabilities. I would estimate that there are still approximately 40 drawers of fullyunsorted weevils present and still needing work. The collection has good holdings in mostweevil tribes present in Costa Rica but is especially strong in Molytini (especially thegenera Heilipus , Heilipodus and their relatives, and Conotrachelus ), Cholini (genusCholus ), and Rhynchophorinae.

CURCULIO

NO. 40 - MARCH 1996 6

Material can be borrowed on loan by contacting Angel Solis, Curator of Coleoptera,INBio, Apto. 22-3100, Santo Domingo de Heredia, Heredia COSTA RICA (emailasolis@rutela.inbio.ac.cr). As Sr. Solis is not a specialist in Curculionidae, you may alsowish to contact me to ask about the availability of specific taxa in the collection and underwhat names you should request the material from Sr. Solis.

As I mentioned, I also carried out field work in two main areas within the country.These were the high elevation forests of Cerro de La Muerte (2600m-3300m) and themountains in the Guanacaste Conservation Area (elevation from 875-1650m), the site ofthe proposed All Taxon Biodiversity Inventory that INBio is planning to conduct over thenext few years. As February was the peak of the dry season, hand collecting was notterrific; however, my main reason for being there was to sample the leaf litter fauna. Incontrast to the hand collections, litter sampling was quite productive. A number of veryinteresting and odd taxa were collected in the high elevation elfin bamboo forests on Cerrode La Muerte including some microphthalmic broad-nosed weevils which I have not seenbefore. Otherwise, the litter weevil fauna was comprised of the standard genera foundthroughout Lower Central America (and in fact most of the Neotropical Region), i.e.,Anchonus , Eurhoptus , Trachyphloeomimus , Acalles , Tylodinus , etc. At all of the higherelevation sites, there were literally hundreds of specimens of the cossonine genusHeptarthrum in each sample, comprising at least 3 or 4 species. This seems a commonpattern throughout Central America.

I plan further work in Costa Rica and will try to keep you posted about newdevelopments.
