i5K Comments for Ceutorhynchus assimilis
1. Induces galls on host plant by mechanical stimulation (oviposition).

2. Cryptic species? Host range (monophagous vs. polyphagous) differs among populations. 3. Monophagous population on Lepidium draba is being studied as weed biological control agent. Polyphagous populations are pests of cole crops. 4. Host plants (Brassicaceae) with interesting feeding stimulant/defense chemistry.

Not easy to rear in lab but easy to collect in field (galls conspicuous); published genotyping studies (SSRs).		 Brian Rector
