Species of beetle

Anthonomus santacruzi is a species of weevil that is a promising biocontrol agent for Solanum mauritianum, a major ecological weed in high-rainfall regions of South Africa.[1]

The weevil exhibits a preference for S. mauritianum and possibly two South African native species of Solanum, namely S. linnaeanum and S. tomentosum.[2]
