Dryophthoridae
Dryophthorinae is a weevil subfamily within the family Curculionidae. While it is not universally accepted as distinct from other curculionid subfamilies, at least one major recent revision elevated it to family rank, as DryophthoridaeAlonso-Zarazaga, M.

Rhinostomus
''Rhinostomus'' is a genus of the true weevil family, Curculionidae and the monotypic tribe Rhinostomini. They include "yucca weevils" and were previously placed in a genus called ''Yuccaborus''; in 2002, this was determined to be a taxonomic synonym of ''Rhinostomus'', and the species, '' Y. frontalis'', was moved to the genus ''Rhinostomus''.

Rhynchophorini
The tribe Rhynchophorini is the largest member of the true weevil subfamily Dryophthorinae. Alonso-Zarazaga and Lyal (1999) treated it as a distinct subfamily, Rhynchophorinae (in the family Dryophthoridae).* Alonso-Zarazaga, M. A. & Lyal, C.H.C. 1999. A world catalogue of families and genera of Curculionoidea (Insecta: Coleoptera, excepting Scolytidae and Platypodidae). Entomopraxis, SCP Edition, Barcelona Weevils of this tribe have the pygidium (VII abdominal tergite) not covered by the elytra. This tribe includes the largest weevils of the subfamily, such as palm weevils.

Carl Johan Schönherr
Carl Johan Schönherr (10 June 1772 – 28 March 1848) was a Swedish entomologist who revised the taxonomy of beetles, including weevils. Born in Stockholm, Schönherr was son of a German immigrant who had established himself as a silk manufacturer. At the age of nineteen, he took over the business together with his mother and developed it into a considerable size, with about 200 workers. In 1805, he entered partnership with Erik Lundgren, and in 1811 he sold the business to him, while retiring to his manor Sparresäter in Lerdala outside Skara in Västergötland, where he died in 1848. Schönherr had taken an interest in entomology since the age of twelve and was later further stimulated through his friendship with Gustaf Johan Billberg, his brother-in-law from his second marriage.Bengt Ehnström, "Schönherr, Carl Johan", ''Svenskt biografiskt lexikon'', vol. 31, p. 755. He was an eminent coleopterist co-operating with Carl Henrik Boheman and Leonard Gyllenhaal. Schönherr w ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Stromboscerini
The insect tribe Stromboscerini is part of the weevil family Curculionidae, subfamily Dryophthorinae. It is a small and little-known weevil group. Alonso-Zarazaga & Lyal (1999) treated it as a subfamily (Stromboscerinae Lacordaire, 1866). All weevils of this tribe have the antennal club with an asymmetrical apex. The winged species of the tribe have the eyes contiguous beneath the head, which makes them "Cyclops"-like. This characteristic is seen in some other Dryophthorinae. All other weevils with contiguous eyes have them connected at the upper part of the head, as in '' Zygops'' (Conoderinae) or some Rhamphini (Curculioninae The beetle subfamily Curculioninae is part of the weevil family Curculionidae. It contains over 23,500 described species in 2,200 genera, and is therefore the largest weevil subfamily. Given that the beetle order (Coleoptera) contains about one ...). References * Faust J. 1894.
