Description: Photographs and a description of this weevil, its distribution, biology, host plants, damage and management.
Twobanded Japanese weevil - Pseudocneorhinus bifasciatus common name: twobanded Japanese weevil Roelofs (Insecta: Coleoptera: Curculionidae) (Roelofs), first collected in the United States in 1914 near Philadelphia, was most likely introduced with infested nursery stock from Japan (Wheeler and Boyd 2004). With a host range of over 100 plant species, the twobanded Japanese weevil is recognized in the northeastern and midwestern United States as an important pest of landscape plantings (Wheeler and Boyd 2004). Although not a pest of major concern yet in the southeastern states, it is likely to extend its range due to movement of nursery stock. In July 2005, two specimens of the twobanded Japanese weevil were collected at Chipley, Florida, which is in Washington county (Thomas 2005).
