CONT

[...] les mâles de l'espèce rhinostomus barbirostris (Charançon barbu) [...] ont un rostre et des pattes antérieures allongés. Le rostre est recouvert par un épais manteau de poils dorés. Les Charançons barbus mâles s'affrontent pour la possession des femelles. Ces insectes vivent sur des troncs de palmiers récemment abattus où la femelle, qui a un rostre plus court, creuse de petits trous dans l'écorce pour y placer ses œufs.
