Cephaloleia elaeidis
Maulik, 1924
Published record.
Cantareira (Sඍൺංඇൾඌ +| Gൺඋർටൺ-Rඈൻඅൾൽඈ 2014).
Distribution.
Brazil
(
Bahia
,
São Paulo
) and?
Ecuador
.
Remarks.
The records from
Ecuador
(Sඍൺංඇൾඌ +| Gൺඋ- ർටൺ-Rඈൻඅൾൽඈ 2014) are dubious and the species was probably misidentified. On the other hand, the species is a pest on palms and thus could have been imported to
Ecuador
. Also, the record from São Paulo should be verified to confirm its identity as many species feeding on palm trees are morphologically similar.
