摘　　要：Dear Editor,Microbial symbionts are crucial participants in the life history of fungus-farming insects (Mueller et al., 2005;Youngsteadt, 2008). The attelabid weevil (Euops chinensis)feeding on Fallopia japonica in southern China, has evolved a special proto-farming bipartite symbiosis with the fungus(Penicillium herquei), which produces antibiotic (+)-scleroderolide in the leaf-rolls ("cradle" for offspring development) to protect the offspring from potential microbial parasites and pathogens (Sakurai, 1985;Wang et al., 2015).
