All species strictly feed on symbiotic ambrosia fungus, usually attacking cut or broken branches or twigs, with records of colonizing living trees (Wood 2007). Some species,such as Corthylus columbianus Eichhoff (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), are of economic importance because they colonize the sapwood of healthy trees used for commercial purposes, and can lower the value by 25% (Solomon 1995). Some of the recorded hosts include oaks (Quercus; Fagaceae), maples (Acer; Sapindaceae), sycamore (Platanus occidentalis L.; Platanaceae), poplar (Populus; Salicaceae), elm (Ulmus; Ulmaceae), and beech (Fagus; Fagaceae),and while the beetle does not kill the host, the defects may seriously affect its use for veneer or structural purposes (Burns 1970; Abrahamson &amp; McCracken 1971). Other species such as Corthylus punctatissimus (Zimmermann) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) attacks live saplings, especially maple, in the eastern USA.</p> </div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03AF5E269678FFAE5BC77F59FCC91B26	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
