Rhinostomus Oblitus
''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''.

Rhinostomus Barbirostris
''Rhinostomus barbirostris'', common name Bottlebrush Weevil or Bearded Weevil, is a species of true weevil family. Description ''Rhinostomus barbirostris'' can reach a length of , excluding beak. It is probably the third largest weevil in the world. The basic color is black. The pronotum is as long as wide and densely punctate. The elytra bear distinct striae and are deeply punctate. Males have characteristic long reddish gold hairs on the apical portion of the long, straight, and dorsally dentate rostrum. The antennae are long and slender, and strongly elbowed. The front tibiae have two or more large, sharp teeth on the inner face. This species shows an unusual sexual polymorphism, as some males in each population are smaller than other males and resemble females. Distribution This common and widespread species occurs mainly in Central America and South America, while similar species in the genus occur in the United States, Africa, Madagascar, Borneo, and India Indi ...

Curculionidae
The Curculionidae are a family of weevils, commonly called snout beetles or true weevils. They are one of the largest animal families, with 6,800 genera and 83,000 species described worldwide. They are the sister group to the family Brentidae. They include the bark beetles as the subfamily Scolytinae, which are modified in shape in accordance with their wood-boring lifestyle. They do not much resemble other weevils, so they were traditionally considered a distinct family, Scolytidae. The family also includes the ambrosia beetles, of which the present-day subfamily Platypodinae was formerly considered the distinct family Platypodidae. Description Adult Curculionidae can be recognised by the well-developed, downwards-curved snout (rostrum) possessed by many species, though the rostrum is sometimes short (e.g. Entiminae). They have elbowed antennae that end in clubs, and the first antennal segment often fits into a groove in the side of the rostrum. The body tends to be robus ...

Tribe (biology)
In biology, a tribe is a taxonomic rank above genus, but below family and subfamily. It is sometimes subdivided into subtribes. By convention, all taxonomic ranks from genus upwards are capitalized, including both tribe and subtribe. In zoology, the standard ending for the name of a zoological tribe is "-ini". Examples include the tribes Caprini (goat-antelopes), Hominini (hominins), Bombini (bumblebees), and Thunnini (tunas). The tribe Hominini is divided into subtribes by some scientists; subtribe Hominina then comprises "humans". The standard ending for the name of a zoological subtribe is "-ina". In botany, the standard ending for the name of a botanical tribe is "-eae". Examples include the tribes Acalypheae and Hyacintheae. The tribe Hyacintheae is divided into subtribes, including the subtribe Massoniinae. The standard ending for the name of a botanical subtribe is "-inae". In bacteriology, the form of tribe names is as in botany, e.g., Pseudomonadeae, based on the ge ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Yucca
''Yucca'' is a genus of perennial shrubs and trees in the family Asparagaceae, subfamily Agavoideae. Its 40–50 species are notable for their rosettes of evergreen, tough, sword-shaped leaves and large terminal panicles of white or whitish flowers. They are native to the hot and dry (arid) parts of the Americas and the Caribbean. Early reports of the species were confused with the cassava (''Manihot esculenta''). Consequently, Linnaeus mistakenly derived the generic name from the Taíno word for the latter, ''yuca''. The Aztecs living in Mexico since before the Spanish arrival, in Nahuatl, call the local yucca species (''Yucca gigantea'') , which gave the Spanish . is also used for ''Yucca filifera''. Distribution The natural distribution range of the genus ''Yucca'' (49 species and 24 subspecies) covers a vast area of the Americas. The genus is represented throughout Mexico and extends into Guatemala (''Yucca guatemalensis''). It also extends to the north through Baja Cali ...
