Platypodinae - Wikipedia
Platypodinae is a weevil subfamily in the family Curculionidae. They are important early decomposers of dead woody plant material in wet tropics; all but two species are ambrosia beetles that cultivate fungi in tunnels excavated in dead wood as the sole food for their larvae.

2014年3月25日 · The weevil subfamily Platypodinae comprises more than 1400 species, of which the vast majority are distributed in tropical regions and fewer than 10 species are found in wet temperate areas (Wood...
Platypodinae - an overview | ScienceDirect Topics
Platypodinae are a subfamily of Curculionidae closely related to Scolytinae. The strongest evidence for the subfamilial classification of Platypodinae within the advanced weevils comes from morphological studies of adults ( Kuschel, 1995; Marvaldi et al. , 2002 ) as well as larvae ( Marvaldi, 1997 ) and from most molecular–phylogenetic ...

Pinhole Borer Beetles (Subfamily Platypodinae) - iNaturalist
Platypodinae is a weevil subfamily in the family Curculionidae. They are important early decomposers of dead woody plant material in wet tropics; all but two species are ambrosia beetles that cultivate fungi in tunnels excavated in dead wood as the sole food for their larvae.
Bark beetles and pinhole borers (Curculionidae, Scolytinae ...
2010年9月17日 · For brevity, in taxonomic contexts, we use bark beetle to include both Scolytinae and the closely related Platypodinae. Ambrosia beetles cultivate symbiotic fungi on the walls of their tunnel systems, which fungi are the sole food of larvae and adults. All Platypodinae are ambrosia beetles, as are many genera of Scolytinae.
Molecular phylogeny and biogeography of the weevil subfamily ...
2015年11月1日 · Platypodinae is a peculiar weevil subfamily of species that cultivate fungi in tunnels excavated in dead wood. Their geographical distribution is generally restricted, with genera confined to a single continent or large island, which provides a useful system for biogeographical research.

Variety of Life: Platypodinae - Field of Science
2018年9月20日 · The Platypodinae, ambrosia beetles, are a family of beetles in which the majority of species feed on fungi growing in the tunnels they bore in dead wood. The Australian species Austroplatypus incompertus is eusocial, forming multi-generational colonies with a single breeding female tended by non-breeding workers (Bouchard 2014).
