Homalinotus coriaceus, also known as the black coconut bunch weevil, is a species of weevil belonging to the family Curculionidae. This species can be found in Brazil. [1] This beetle is a pest species that affects coconut cultivation, due to its lifecycle and feeding habits. [2]
Due to the damage H. coriaceus can inflict on coconut trees, it is considered a major pest in Brazil. Larvae will tunnel into the peduncles of the coconut tree, feeding on the sap. [3] Likewise, adults will often damage the flowers and fruit tissues. [4] Since both life states of H. coriaceus promote the death of the fruit and flowers of the coconut tree, it has been estimated to have reduced coconut production in Brazil by 50%. [5]
Black coconut bunch weevils are black and range between 25 and 30 millimetres (0.98 and 1.18 in) long with a rostrum of approximately 8 millimetres (0.31 in), [6] [7] the mature larvae are white, curved, bigger than the adult-beetle with 40 to 50 millimetres (1.6 to 2.0 in) in length and display a rust-tinted head. [8] The eggs laid on the floral peduncle are white, smooth, and elongated. [7] This species has little to no sexual dimorphism, where females are a bit larger than males and have two subtle indentations on the pronotum. [8]
Principense Creole, also called lunguyê creole by its native speakers, is a Portuguese creole language spoken by a community of some four thousand people in São Tomé and Príncipe, specifically on the island of Príncipe. There are two Portuguese creoles on the island of São Tomé, Angolar and Forro. Today, younger generations of São Toméans are not likely to speak Principense, which has led to its fast decline and moribund status. It is mostly spoken by the elderly, while most of the island's community speaks noncreole Portuguese; some also speak another, closely related creole, Forro.
