Myrmecophila thomsoniana - pollinators

"A promising field exists in the tropics for studies of beetle pollination."

Leendert van der Pijl (1961) Ecological aspects of flower evolution II. Zoophilous flower classes. Evolution 15:44-59

Three beetle pollinators of Myrmecophila thomsoniana have been identified; two cetoniids and an entimiinid weevil. Non- native Apis mellifera is an occasional pollinator.
