Specific approval and amendment Approved in 2007/09. Introduction The genus Rhynchophorus currently contains nine species, of which six are known to attack palms. Two species, R. ferrugineus and R. palmarum are EPPO listed pests, with R. palmarum on the A1 list and R. ferrugineus on the A2 list. Rhynchophorus ferrugineus is essentially a pest of palms. The known hosts include Areca catechu, Arenga pinnata, Borassus flabellifer, Caryota maxima, C. cumingii, Cocos nucifera, Corypha gebanga, C. elata, Elaeis guineensis, Livistona decipiens, L. chinensis, L. subglobosa, Metroxylon sagu, Oneosperma horrida, O. tigillaria, Oreodoxa regia, Phoenix canariensis, P. dactylifera, P. sylvestris, Sabal umbraculifera, Trachycarpus fortunei and Washingtonia sp. R. ferrugineus has also been found on rattan (specifically, Calamus merillii) in the Philippines (Braza, 1988) and is reported to attack Agave americana and Saccharum officinarum (Esteban-Duran et al., 1998). Rhynchophorus palmarum is common in Neotropical virgin forests and in agroecosystems exploiting oil palms, and has been reported on 35 plant species in 12 different families. It is, however, found predominantly on Arecaceae, the main hosts being, Cocos nucifera, Elaeis guineensis, Euterpe edulis, Metroxylon sagu, Phoenix canariensis, Phoenix dactylifera, and sugarcane Saccharum officinarum. Although only reported as a pest on palms and sugarcane (Arango & Rizo, 1977; Restrepo et al., 1982), the adults also feed on ripe fruits of plants such as Ananas comosus, Annona reticulata, Artocarpus altilis, Carica papaya, Citrus spp., Mangifera indica, Musa spp., Persea Americana, Psidium guajava and Theobroma cacao, but without causing economic damage (OEPP/EPPO, 2005). In the EPPO region, R. ferrugineus is present in Cyprus, Greece, Egypt, France, Israel, Italy, Jordan, Spain and Turkey. It is possible that it could establish across the Mediterranean part of the EPPO region. Further information on the biology and ecology of the species can be found in Martin Monina & Cabello Garcia (2005) and the EPPO data sheets on R. palmarum (OEPP/EPPO, 2005) and R. ferrugineus (EPPO Website). Identity Name: Rhynchophorus ferrugineus (Olivier, 1790) Synonyms: R. signaticollis, R. vulneratus, Calandra ferrugineus, Curculio ferrugineus Taxonomic position: Insecta, Coleoptera, Dryophthoridae, Rhynchophorinae EPPO computer code: RHYCFE Phytosanitary categorization: EPPO A2 (339). Identity Name: Rhynchophorus palmarum (Linnaeus, 1758) Synonyms: R. cycadis, R. depressus, R. longuinossis, Calandra palmarum, Cordyle barbirostris, C. palmarum, Curculio palmarum Taxonomic position: Insecta, Coleoptera, Dryophthoridae, Rhynchophorinae EPPO code: RHYCPA Phytosanitary categorization: EPPO A1 (332). Detection Early signs of attack are distinctive but not easily visible: notches at the base of palm leaves with frass, cocoons inserted into the base of the palm leaves, eccentric crown growth, holes at the base of the cut palms and symptoms resembling those of drought stress (wilting, yellowing). Larvae and adults may destroy the interior of the palm tree, without the palm tree showing distinctive signs of deterioration. When attacked, the trunk is structurally weakened, making the plant liable to collapse, thus the plant becomes a danger to the public. An attack on Phoenix leads, in the majority of the cases, to death of the palm trees whatever the size. Visual examination allows the detection of signs of attack such as notches on the base of palm leaves, frass, cocoons and holes but will not detect larvae and adults inside the trunk stipe. Adult populations can be monitored by pheromone traps, acoustic detection (Soroker et al., 2004) or infra-red systems. Identification Morphological identification is the recommended method (see Tables 1 and 2 and Appendix 1), for which. A binocular microscope with × 50 magnification is needed. Table 1. For identification of the genus Rhynchophorus see Arnett et al. (2002). Key to the species of Adult Rhynchophorus (after Wattanapongsiri, 1966) Rhynchophorus vulneratus is considered as a colour morph of R. ferrugineus (Hallett et al., 2004). 1.
