Pissodes nemorensis Germar, 1824

Collection information.

USA: Georgia: Clarke Co.: four individuals from three sites. Caught in flight trap from 9 March – 2 June 2020.

Distribution.

Eastern North America.

Saproxylic habits.

Larvae feed in the phloem and sapwood of weakened or freshly killed pine ( Atkinson et al. 1988); while generally considered a pest of pines (e. g., Ollieu 1971), more recent work suggests P. Nemorensis and related pine weevils principally colonize already stressed trees ( Helbig et al. 2016).
