Abstract
The coconut black weevil Rhynchophorus palmarum (Linnaeus) is an important pest of several palm species in tropical America as a vector of the red ring nematode Bursaphelenchus cocophilus (Cobb).

Centrouropoda almerodai Hiramatsu and Hirschmann and Glyptholaspis sp. were found on adults captured in this traps as phoretic mite species.
