Abstract
As far as known, all species of Meligethes and Pria develop in the flowers of Angiospermae, and are primarily pollen-eaters in both adult and larval stages. Those species which have been investigated, have shown more or less strong host-plant specificity for breeding purposes, though adults may feed in flowers of species in which they do not breed.
