Rhynchitidae
The tooth-nosed snout weevils, Rhynchitidae, are small beetles (1.5 to 6.5 mm) that are usually found in vegetation. They usually use buds, fruits, or seeds for oviposition. The tooth-nosed snout weevils receive this name due to the teeth on the edges of their mandibles. Traditionally considered a subfamily of Attelabidae within the Curculionoidea (weevils and relatives), the tooth-nosed snout weevils are regarded as a separate family Rhynchitidae by some authorities. A common member of this group is the rose curculio, '' Merhynchites bicolor'', which feeds on roses. A number of species from Rhynchitidae are recorded from Britain. The thief weevil, '' Pterocolus ovatus'', is the only pterocoline (subfamily Pterocolinae) known from North America. It is an obligate egg predator and nidus kleptoparasite (nest thief) of some beetles in the family Attelabidae. Genera These genera belong to the subfamily Rhynchitinae: * '' Acritorrhynchites'' Voss, 1941 * '' Aderorhinus'' Sh ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Attelabidae
The Attelabidae is a widespread family of weevils. They are among the primitive weevils, because of their straight antennae, which are inserted near the base of the rostrum. The prothorax is much narrower than the base of the elytra on the abdomen. Attelabidae and the related family Rhynchitidae are known commonly as the leaf-rolling weevils.Legalov, A. A. (2004)New data of the leaf-rolling weevils (Coleoptera: Rhynchitidae, Attelabidae) of the world fauna with description of 35 new taxons.''Baltic Journal of Coleopterology'' 4(1) 63-88. Rhynchitidae may be treated as subfamily Rhynchitinae of the Attelabidae. Some members of this family have long necks and may be called giraffe weevils, particularly '' Trachelophorus giraffa''. A few species are minor agricultural pests. The larvae of Rhynchitinae feed in flower buds, fruits, and terminal shoots, or are leaf miners. The subfamily Attelabinae are the true leaf rollers. The female cuts slits into leaves to deposit her eggs, and ro ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
