Extract

The diamond beetle, Entimus nobilis Oliv., is a weevil whose larva causes irregular tubercles on the woody tissues of the twining vine Stigmaphyllum littorale Juss., cultivated in the American tropics. Bruch (1932) reports that the adult weevil may be from 10 to 28 mm. in length. The specimens in which the proventriculus was examined were adults 28 mm. long from a series of pinned insects collected in Brazil.
