There is an array of color variations
across the native and introduced range
of Rhynchophorus ferrugineus, and the
taxonomy has changed multiple times in
the past. Recent molecular research
suggests that Rhynchophorus
ferrugineus may actually be a species
complex composed of two or more
cryptic species (Rugman-Jones et al.,
2013). The suggested second species,
Rhynchophorus vulneratus, is currently synonymized under Rhynchophorus
ferrugineus
From the molecular analysis, the species detected in Laguna Beach, California
more closely resembles Rhynchophorus vulneratus (Rugman-Jones et al., 2013).
PPQ will continue to refer to this detection as Rhynchophorus ferrugineus until
additional information is available.
