†data = number of flea beetles seen on each species of Passiflora; bold indicates known larval host. ‡Passiflora species abbreviations: PIT=pittieri; LOB=lobata; COR=megacoriacea; AUR=auriculata; BI=biflora:ARB=arbelaezii; COS=costaricensis; VIT=vitifolia; AMB=ambigua;QUA=quadrangularis; MEN=menispermifolia; OER=oerstedii. Leaf drawings after Torsten and MacDougal 2004. §Flea beetle genera and species identified by D. Furth, US National Museum. ID's provisional. Species ordering to facilitate comparison with Figure 1, with Astrophaea/Decaloba feeders first, followed by subgenus Passiflora feeeders. ¶ indicates uncertainty of flea beetle species for about 50 observations where hind tibia color was not determined. ††HCN data is based on a survey of over 1000 samples of Passiflora species; see text. |
